Margrett Dawson: Bella Donna

“I love you, Emma, my bella donna . I think I loved you from the moment I saw you in Enrico’s stable.”

She felt tears shimmer on the ends of her lashes and he brushed them away as he showered kisses on her face.

She said the words she had never spoken to anyone else. “I love you, too. I think I loved you from the instant you found me.”

In the hills of Italy he had been able to arouse her with a single kiss, and the time apart had changed nothing. She resisted the touch of his lips for all of ten seconds before pressing her body against his and returning his kiss with all the heat and passion that had been missing from her life for the past years. It was more than a kiss, it was a consuming ecstasy, brushed with soft magic

It was a very long time before they broke apart.

Margrett Dawson has been a nomad most of her life, and has lived in six different countries. She is settled for a while with her own romance hero on Vancouver Island on Canada 's Pacific Coast, where she loves to craft sexy stories about people who fall in love. She will move on again (this time to Africa for a few months) but will continue to spin tales, especially about people who find romance when they least expect it.
