The Baron's New Bride by Sandra Ross
MALE POWER PLAY – JUS PRIMAE NOCTIS

WHEN THE BARON INVOKES HIS RIGHT TO THE BRIDE'S FIRST NIGHT...

Baron Laurent Fabian Deschamps and Alaina Duvre crossed paths when the Baron rescued her first night from an arranged marriage to a despicable old man. But they start falling in love, and instead of sending her back, Laurent paid for her bride-price and dowry. She knows that to pay him off, she cannot avoid being his mistress, because why will a baron marry a peasant girl?

Then the Baron is summoned to attend the duke in his castle and he decides to bring Alaina with him. In the duke’s castle, Alaina is thrown in the middle of a controversy. Her presence with Laurent sparks whispers, especially when talk has started circulating about an announcement of betrothal between him and the beautiful Lady Véronique Moranville, a distant cousin of the duke. The same lady seems to think it an insult that the Baron arrives with a commoner he treats with respect in public, and starts spreading rumors about her before the night of the announcement.

Her time in bed with Laurent remains as glorious as ever… but Alaina knows it is about to end and there is nothing she can do to stop it. Unless the Baron knows something he is not telling…

EXCERPT

"I missed you last night," Laurent said. His voice was gentle, but the look on his eyes was alert.

She smiled up at him. "Didn't you have a good time with the other lords?"

"Some of them are close friends, yes. But I still missed you."

She sighed. "Well, now we're together. I don't... I can't..."

He frowned. "What is it, ma bichette?"

"How could you miss me? I am not your betrothed or your wife. I am not important."

He was suddenly kissing her again. It was hungry and passionate and she was instantly consumed by it that when he finished, she had melted into him and she was panting, as he was.

"You are important, Alaina. You must know."

"But... you're going to be married to the Lady Véronique Moranville! They said your aunt and the duke had arranged it." She suddenly gasped. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of me. I have no right to your affairs. I am only your servant."

He was grinning. "Do I detect jealousy in your voice, ma bichette?"

Her eyes grew wide as she stared at him. "My Lord, of course not! I have no right to get jealous. I am only your mis..."

His eyebrows rose. "Mistress. Hmmm. If you believe yourself a mistress, Alaina, then you have a right to tantrums and whatever maladies a woman feels when her position is threatened. Clearly, you have no idea what being a mistress means."

She opened her mouth but she had nothing to say. He was right, she did not know anything about what a mistress did or felt.

She lowered her eyes. "Will you teach me?"

"I will never teach you that!"
