Belong To Me (The Fielding Brothers Saga Book 4)

Charlotte Fielding, tired of being without her wayward husband, travels to Bath to find him. She discovers him at a masked ball amidst the throng of revelers. Her revenge on him is that he doesnâ€™t know who she is, so she seduces him. When his reaction to her identity isnâ€™t what she expects, she hardens her heart against him. Charlotte wants an annulment and nothing less. He talks her into a bargainâ€”to stay as his wife for a month and then if they donâ€™t suit well with each other, heâ€™ll grant her wish. What she uncovers about his life is far more than she bargained for. In addition to the disguises in his closet from his investigative business, she stumbles across secrets. Those of which she wished sheâ€™s never known.

Framed for a crime he didnâ€™t commit, Ian Fielding has his hands full with
proving his innocence. His wife picks that moment to show up on his doorstep, and heâ€™s forced to take her with him. Matters become more complicated when he becomes unexplainably attracted to her. The timing couldnâ€™t be more inconvenient. When the couple takes refuge in an old castle owned by a recluse beastly lord, they soon become aware that the owner has plans of his own.

Swept into a whirlwind of mystery, passion and adventure, Charlotte must discover the truth of her own heart before itâ€™s too late for them both.

She laid her unsteady hand on top his and he led the way to the dance floor. Heat from his powerful body radiated from his skin. He spoke not a word as he slid his arm around her waist and took her in the dance hold. When their feet stepped in time with the string quartetâ€™s waltz, he pulled her body scandalously closer.

Under her hand, the smooth material of his shirt slid beneath her fingers. Flesh and sinew flexed under her palms. Tightening her lips, she held back the sigh that wanted to escape, reminding herself that this was revenge and nothing more.

â€œAre you aware of the spectacle youâ€™ve made tonight, ChÃ¨re?â€

Shock trembled through her at his blunt words. Did he know who she was? Of course not. He wouldnâ€™t know her true identity until she removed her mask. And even then she wondered if heâ€™d recognize her.

â€œI donâ€™t care what people think of me,â€ she admitted.

â€œYouâ€™re certainly the most provocative woman at this ball.â€

She breathed a sigh. â€œYou really think so? Iâ€™m not aware of this.â€

â€œYouâ€™re certainly a temptress, luring to your side every man here.â€

â€œAnd what of you, kind sir? Are you aware of how devastatingly handsome and mysterious you are?â€

â€œNo, my attention has been focused on one woman in particular, and Iâ€™m dancing with her now.â€

She tilted her head, keeping her gaze on him. â€œAre you always this forward?â€

â€œOui.â€ He chuckled. â€œAre you?â€

â€œItâ€™s for you to find out.â€

His dark eyebrows lifted. â€œAm I to believe you are this way because youâ€™re tempted to taste the forbidden fruit?â€

His charm hypnotized all of her senses, weakening her limbs. To keep from falling under his spell, she changed the subject. â€œWhat is your costume, kind sir?â€

â€œWhat do you want me to be, ChÃ¨re?â€

Her heart knocked against her ribs. â€œThatâ€™s not a fair answer to my question.â€

â€œThe truth is, my She-Devil,â€ he replied, huskiness filling his voice as his fingers stroked her hand, â€œthis costume was a last minute decision. So please, tell me what you think I might be, and it shall be so.â€

She looked away from the shadow of his eyes peering through the mask and scanned his body. Perfectly he fit in his dark and mystifying attire, so flawless it made her heart skip a beat. Too bad he didnâ€™t want her as a wife three years ago. Perhaps she wouldnâ€™t have thought she had wasted the last twenty-four months of her life.

â€œI donâ€™t rightly know.â€ She shrugged. â€œAre you a night rider?â€

â€œI have a better idea. Since you are the Devil, I shall be Hell.â€

Lost in a dream, she gazed into his masked face. â€œIf you are Hell, then Iâ€™d gladly become wicked just to be with you.â€
