An Enchanting Madness – Erica Taylor

Nick reclaimed his chair, and Norah sat across from him. Trevor paced to the window, not wanting to sit and talk logistics when his blood pulsed with overwhelming emotions. Trevor burned for her, more than he had before he held her in his arms, soaked in the bath. His attachment served no purpose, other than his own desire.

He hummed with awareness of her, and he ached to have her in his arms again. Good lord, he thought, and glanced down to a part of his anatomy which seemed to not be done for the day. He managed to readjust himself and prayed neither Norah nor Nick noticed. “What say you, Hayward?” Norah asked and he turned away from the window. “Does that sound agreeable?” He had no idea what she asked. “Whatever you think is best,” he said curtly and bowed before fleeing the room.

Best he take care of his problem prior to the ball or he risked embarrassing himself before Bradstone’s guests. There was still part of a bath he could make use of, and it was full of memories to aid him. 1kitap1.com/en “Do you sense the slimming of your accounts? Or the distaste of the woman in your arms?

You’re nearly done for now. Best ride out the inevitable and keep clear of the lady’s claws.” ~Lady Ruin, May 1815 THE MACALISTER BIRTHDAY Ball was a highlight of the London social season. As it was, Trevor had been warned the ball would be quite a crush, with upwards of five hundred guests expected to pack into the ballroom at Bradstone House. Clara had hinted heavily to Trevor he should wear his regimental uniform and he obliged. Knowing Napoleon had returned to France and readied to cause more havoc, Trevor felt uncomfortably closer to rejoining the fray.

It was an odd thing, to know there would be more war, fighting the same enemy on the same ground they’d already secured. His superiors had sent him home to recuperate at the presumed end of the conflict, but he’d always meant to return to his regiment.

I cherish your fashion advice, even if we do it now over text. Romy, you had the right words exactly when I needed to hear them. No one else could have done what you did for this book. “I promise to not use as many dialogue tags,” she said indignantly. Mom, for always reminding me “it is all part of the experience.” J, for the times I am too overwhelmed and my words are gone, thank you for being by my side.

I am forever grateful you came home. 1kitap1.com/en PROLOGUE August 1814 Cornwall, England A DARK AND cobweb-filled foyer was his gratitude for defending his nation against foreign foes. It was also punishment for attempting to murder his cousin. Major Trevor Hayward dropped his satchel on the dusty floor, the echo reverberating throughout the empty house. A heavy sigh bubbled up from the well of deep exhaustion buried within him, a testament to ten years fighting against Napoleon and the other French frogs. Men had died, Napoleon was on his way to live out his years exiled on an island, and Trevor…

Trevor just did not want to hurt anyone, ever again. He had not meant to harm Wyatt; truly, he loved his cousin like a brother, and Wyatt had accepted his apology, understanding the toll war had taken. It was the rest of the ton, all of society, England perhaps, who now viewed Trevor as a dangerous madman, deranged by war. Wouldn’t be the first time someone had thought the worst of him.
