Excerpt:
Has Nathan
found his beloved bride, only to lose her forever?
Nathan smiled down
at Emily. “I don’t think I can live for another second if I don’t
kiss you.”
Emily’s smile
was all the encouragement Nathan needed. He leaned over and caught
her lips tenderly, reverently, trying to communicate through his kiss
just how precious she was to him. Her lips tasted warm, sweet, so
human, and her womanly curves felt so soft and real against him.
Sweet Lord, what
exquisite torment it was to hold her this way! He could not believe
she was here in his arms but he would have her for such a short time.
Why had he never appreciated her before, or seen what a priceless
jewel she truly was? He could experience that splendor only now, for
this one magical day, and he must try not to allow his terrible guilt
and fear to cloud their remaining time together . . .
Emily, too,
savored every sensation as Nathan kissed her—the strength of his
embrace, his male scent, the heat of his lips on hers. Before, Nathan
had always kissed her with arrogance, with passion, even with anger.
But now, he wasn’t just taking from her . . . she could tell he was
truly giving of himself.
Anguish choked
her. Why couldn’t they have known such glory, such true intimacy,
before during their marriage? Why was she being given, at last, the
gift of her husband’s devotion, only to have it snatched away?
Was it only her
death that could bring them together?
