Coldly, ominously, James warned him, “We can do this the hard way and I can beat you to a bloody pulp—and don’t doubt it, dear boy, I won’t need any help to do so—or you can just leave.” 

“I’m not leaving without my sister,” Warren maintained staunchly. 

“Now there you’re wrong, Yank. You gave her to me, and I’m keeping her, and I’m especially keeping her away from you and your bloody propensity toward violence.” 

“You didn’t want her!” 

“Like hell I didn’t!” James growled. “I wanted her enough to let you nearly hang me!” 

“You don’t make sense, man,” Warren said, frowning now. 

“’Course he does,” Anthony interjected at this point, laughing. “Perfect sense.”

The grin that curled his lips infuriated her even more. You’ve come to my lair, sweetheart, he couldn’t help thinking. I have you now. 

To her, he suggested, “A drink?” 

“You’d drive a saint to it,” she retorted, but nodded just the same and took a hefty swallow of the brandy he handed her a moment later.

“You can’t imagine what you do to me.” 

“I know what you do to me,” she said softly, watching him. “Is it the same?” 

The sound he made was half groan, half laugh. “God, I hope so.”

“My eyes have been a-wandering, as you put it, for the last nineteen years. Give them a rest, Roslynn. They settled on you and don’t want to move on.”

When it appeared that the lady wasn’t going to budge another step that would bring her nearer to him, Anthony said, “It’s as well you came out now, sweetheart. I was just beginning to fantasize about slipping into your room and finding you still abed—” 

“Sir Anthony!” 

“Was the door unlocked?” he teased, but at her fulsome glare, finally chuckled. “You needn’t bludgeon me with those pretty eyes, my dear. I don’t mean a word of it. In fact, you can come ahead without the slightest qualm. Today I fully intend to offer my best behavior, to observe every propriety, and to bury all those wicked instincts that might cause you alarm.” 

“You promise?” 

He grinned. “Must I?” 

“Yes.” 

“Very well. My promise, solemn and most sincere, is yours until you take pity on me and give it back.” 

The sound of her husky laugh was like music to his ears. “You can have it back, Sir Anthony, when you’re too old to want it, and not a day sooner.”

It simply wasn’t fair. Gramp had warned her. She didn’t have to be told. She knew. He was one of them, one of the “not to be considered.” He was too ruthlessly handsome not to be. 

Her earlier annoyance was forgotten. A new irritation took hold. She had the strangest urge to hit him for being what he was. Why him? Why did the one man who took her breath away have to be the only type of man unacceptable to her? 

“You are staring, sir.” Where had that come from, when the rest of her thoughts were so chaotic? 

“I know,” he said simply, his smile deepening.

She gasped as he reached for her, and before she knew it, she was sitting on the railing, her balance precarious at best, and he was grinning at her. She had thought he meant to kiss her again. This she didn't find amusing at all. The drop behind her was at least eight or nine feet from the top of the railing where she sat to the ground, her feet were dangling off the floor, and she had nothing to grasp hold of if she should lose her balance-except him.

Tender Rebel-Johanna Lindsey (because no one can resist Anthony Malory)

Now from time to time when I am feeling romantic and I have to lay off videos online ;) I read books like this... and honestly Johanna Lindsey is a wonderful writer... the Malory novels are the best because it's not just romance, it's also bromance :). There are many books in the Malory series, this particular book is my favourite (cause Tony's character just comes at you from the pages and trust, you want him to come at you... sexily that is)...
