When she took his hand, the feel of her soft skin inspired him, and Jacob bowed to kiss her knuckles. The gesture was a little foolish. He was no knight in shining armor. Vivienne squeezed his hand and looked into his eyes. This woman was really getting to him. Jacob sensed a note of challenge in her expression. He had taken care not to reveal emotion, and didn’t see how Vivienne could know what he felt. Yet there was an instant connection. The look in her eyes teased him, dared him to go further if he was brave enough. That was unexpected. Vivienne may not be the type to fall at his feet and do as he commanded. But it didn’t dissuade Jacob. For some inexplicable reason, he wanted her even more. He needed to get a grip if he had any hope of maintaining control.” Series Description: Forbidden Passion is the first book in the Bend To My Will series, a Rinaldi Romance that unfolds over a series of novellas.

He can’t blame Vivienne for envisioning a different sort of relationship than they have. After all, Jacob takes her on dates then shares the playroom with her, which sends conflicting messages. “Jacob’s heart sank when he thought of what he was leading Vivienne to believe. He wasn’t the right man for her, except in the playroom. Romance, dating, and relationships had not gone well for him in the past. He wasn’t cut out for sentimentality. Although Jacob had taken precautions to keep the darkness he harbored away from Vivienne, his recent behavior might prove to be his undoing. Intimacy drew a woman closer, when what he needed was to maintain distance. She didn’t need to know about his past, or see inside him. Nor did he want her to. The fact was that Jacob was setting Vivienne up for disappointment, and the way they were going, it would be a big one.” ˃˃˃ Series Description Deep Longing is the fourth book in the Bend To My Will series, a Rinaldi Romance that unfolds over a series of novellas.
