NEW RELEASE -- FIRST TIME IN PRINT**
In the
fourth book in the Phantom series, a powerful love begins with a promise...
When a Gypsy curse transformed Paxton Forsyth from man to phantom, he
vowed revenge. But upon awakening from a centuries-long slumber, he finds
himself confined within a chateau in war-torn France. He has one shot at
freedom, if he can seduce the enchanting woman who's ventured into his lair.
But Jeannette Rousseau is no easy target. Though
orphaned and alone, she's promised her heart to an enemy spy. Only by calling
on the magic does Paxton entice her...and once their tryst is exposed, they become
pitted between the consequences of a forbidden love and the forces plotting to
take over the world.

Exclusive Excerpt:
“I
don’t understand,” she confessed. “Am I
dreaming?”
He
gave her a short, gallant bow. “You are
not, mademoiselle.”
His
reply was confident and reassuring, giving her permission to enjoy the way he
lifted her hand to his lips and pressed a chaste kiss across her knuckles. The sensation was electric, as if lightning
had hit the ground and traveled through the earth to spire up her bones.
Suddenly, the night,
chilly and sharp with impending snowfall, warmed.
“You are English, but
not a pilot. A soldier, then? A spy?”
His grin was part
indulgent and part…predatory. Jeannette
knew the look. It was one she saw often
when she went into the village to trade the eggs and cheese from her farm for
the vegetables she had little luck in growing on her own. It was the expression she hadn’t ever seen in
Rolf, not even tonight.
It was desire—tightly
controlled but unmistakable.
As if he was unaware
of his actions, Paxton drew tight, tiny circles on the top of her hand with his
thumb. The contact was at once unnerving
and deliciously intimate.
“A scholar, truth be
told. I was born in London,” he
explained. “I was educated at Eton and,
subsequently, at the King’s College at Cambridge. Except for an unwelcome assignment with my
father in a craggy German countryside, I’m as British as one can be.”
Fear skittered at the
base of her skull. “But you’ve been to
Germany?”
“Many, many years ago,”
he answered quickly, though something in his tone told her there was more to
the story.
“Then why are you in
France? You have to know that for anyone
with German ties, or British ones, this is the most dangerous place for you to
be besides London itself.”
His
brow drew down tightly over his eyes, which, she noted, even in the darkness,
were a sharp, cerulean blue. He stopped
the assault of his thumb on her hand, but he did not let her go.
“Why
is London dangerous?”
She
rolled her eyes. How could he not know
news that had spread around the world?
“German
bombs. Blitzkrieg, Rolf said they call it.
They’re shelling London every night.”
He
dropped her hand. When he turned toward
the slatted light from the windows, his face was a mask of confusion.
“How
long have you been here?” she asked.
“Too
long.”
“Maybe it’s time for
you to go.”
He chuckled
mirthlessly. “Mademoiselle, believe me,
I would if I could.”
