Excerpt 1:
“Are you ready?” Jio asked when they were back inside
reception hall. He held her cloak open, and his smoky blue eyes invited her to
come on in.
She slid into the velvet heat that his arms wrapped her
in. Had she imagined his hands trembling as he tucked her cloak around her
shoulders? She didn’t have time to wonder. He took her hand in his and ushered
her outside to where a horse-drawn sleigh waited on them.
“Jio, you didn’t!” she cried, delighted.
“I most certainly did.” Grinning, Jio scooped her up in
his arms and carried her over to the luxuriant, curved bench.
The sleigh’s polished wood accents gleamed the color of
toasted spice beneath the moonlight. One of the two white horses waiting
patiently snuffled and neighed so cutely that Golden couldn’t stop
smiling.
The heat from coils hidden under the upholstery
surrounded her with warmth. After Jio climbed in and settled himself next to her
on the bench, she was grateful the driver came along and buried them in more
warmth, tucking several thick faux mink blankets around their shoulders. The
blankets draped down past their feet and sealed out the cold.
As the carriage swept across the snow, sleigh bells
jingled in the dark to the clop-clop-clop of horses hooves hitting the
snow-covered ground.
Jio’s gaze settled on her lips. “Are you warm enough,
darling?”
“Yes,” Golden whispered, sensing it was about to get
hotter in that sleigh. “You did all of this for me…?” Her heart and mind spilled
over with wonder at all he’d done. All he was doing to fill this night with
magic.
Jio snuggled up to her. “I did it for me, too. I was
married once before, you see. And, I hope I’ve done a better job at wedding
planning this time.” He leaned in and nuzzled her ear, his breath dancing with
the scent of chocolate mints.
She reached up and touched his cheek with her gloved
hand. “You get an A-plus for effort.”
He smiled and curled his black-gloved hand around hers.
“And a treat?”
“And a treat,” she promised, breathless.
