New Frontier of Love (American Wilderness Series Romance Book 2) (39 page)

It was time to put out the fire raging within them, but seeing him so alive made it almost too extraordinary to quench. His fervor nearly made sparks fly from his muscled body.

Catherine knew he would keep kissing her, embracing her, fondling her, until he could no longer hold himself back.

He kissed the inside of one of her palms, before nibbling on the sensitive skin inside her elbow. Then his tongue traced a trail across her shoulder and down to the pinnacle of her moist breast. She was nearly exploding with desire.

She arched into the curve of his body. He pulled her against him with tantalizing possessiveness.

His strong hands caressed the planes of her back and hips. Then he lightened his touch to just his fingertips. She quivered under his gentle stroking, every inch of her skin tingling with pleasure from his whispered touch. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back, reveling in the sensation of his hands wandering lovingly over her.

The scent of his fresh water washed body made her senses swirl. Like the rush of the nearby waterfall pounding into the river, a spurt of hungry desire for him cascaded through her.

She raised up and pushed him to his back before she climbed on top of him, straddling his hips. It was an instinctive act of possession. She was all his and he was all hers.

Using her fingers, she slowly massaged his shoulders. She observed him through lowered lashes as her fingers slid over his smooth skin. He was so handsome, so magnificent, so hers! She smiled, joyful at the thought, and used her thumbs to knead the muscles of his broad chest. Then with two fingertips, she drew a perfect heart around his heart.

He reached up and did the same to her.

He loved her!

In that moment, she felt a sunrise in her heart.

He opened his eyes to gaze at this strikingly beautiful woman who was his wife. He still could not believe his great fortune. It had nothing to do with her fortune.
She
was his treasure.

Her long dark hair fell in wet strands across her breasts, nearly reaching to her trim waist. Sam reached up and pushed her hair behind her back, revealing the exquisite mounds completely. She was a glowing image of beauty, desire, and love. The sheer wonder
of the sight of her and the growing intensity of the passion within him filled his heart with awe.

Every time he joined with her, she filled empty places in his soul and made more old pains ebb away—banished forever—to be replaced with new memories. And these memories would linger long after their moments of heated passion, surrounding them in the comforting certainty of their love.

“I love you beyond any measure,” she whispered as her head fell down and she buried her face against his neck.

Then, as he held her close, he said, “And I love you my treasure. To paraphrase that fine Scots poet, Robert Burns, ‘Of all the directions the wind can blow, I dearly like the west, for there the bonnie lassie lives, the lassie I love best.’”

“Aye!” she said.

As their souls collided, he decided the wilderness really was the land of tomorrow.

Called a “deft new writer of intelligent romantic fiction,” award-winning historical romance author Dorothy Wiley enjoys writing big, action-packed romantic adventures set in the American wilderness when it was still a frontier. In her exciting American Wilderness Series Romances, Wiley breaches the walls of time, bringing readers to a young America, where romance and danger are as powerful as the wilderness.

Readers describe Wiley’s writing as fresh, unblinkingly gritty, and highly enjoyable with well-portrayed characters. Like her compelling heroes, who from the outset make it clear they will not fail despite the adversities they face, this author is likewise destined for success. In 2014, her first romance novel,
Wilderness Trail of Love
, was a Central Florida Romance Writers of America Touch of Magic Finalist and her second book,
New Frontier of Love
, was selected as an Amazon Breakthrough Novel Quarterfinalist.

Wiley grew up in southern California and found her own romantic hero in Austin, Texas, where she received a Bachelor of Journalism degree, with Honors, from The University of Texas. After a distinguished 35-year corporate career in marketing and public relations, she is living her dream—writing historical romances—and residing in central Texas with her husband (the same wonderful guy) on their beautiful cattle ranch. Yes, dreams really can come true!

CKNOWLEDGEMENTS

As I did in
Book One
of the series,
Wilderness Trail of Love
, I would like to thank the daring and brave first-wave pioneers of early America. Their hard fought struggles for a place in the vast wilderness gave us the majestic country we enjoy today. Their stories must be remembered. Although this is a completely fictionalized and romanticized story, it still reflects some of the many challenges our ancestors faced. My husband’s brave ancestors, who actually did travel through the frontier and eventually became some of Texas’ earliest settlers, inspired this series of novels. There are many stories I would like to write about those amazing journeys and their life on America’s frontier.

Secondly, I would like to thank my husband (also my muse) and my wonderful sister for their help in polishing this manuscript. Thanks for your continued faith in me. And my thanks to my fellow author and friend Deborah Gafford, a wonderful writer, for her suggestions and support.

Third, my thanks to my cover designer Erin Dameron-Hill whose creative talent transformed my vision for the books’ covers into a beautiful reality.

Now, on to
Book Three
in the American Wilderness Series Romances,
Whispering Hills of Love
. I can hardly wait to write about the adventures and love of William and Kelly…

Listen to the wind. It speaks

Listen to your heart. It knows
