Discovering Her Delight

Book excerpt: She wanted a kiss. She got an adventure. William Peel fancies himself a scholar of classical texts, and what better way to study such artifacts than on an archaeological expedition to Ottoman Turkey? And what better way to try and forget the beautiful – and unattainable – daughter of an earl than by pursuing his studies? Lady Beatrice Smythe has been granted all the freedoms the middle daughter of a Radical member of Parliament could want – including travel to far off lands to pursue her interest in archaeology and quench her thirst for adventure. Beatrice and William find themselves on the very same expedition – and find it difficult to keep their hands in the excavation pit and not on each other. After a discovery of historic proportions, the expedition becomes the target of a determined villain who has set his sights not just on precious artifacts, but on the virginal Beatrice. But archaeologists and academics are a determined lot when it comes to protecting that which is treasured… Discovering Her Delight: A Harwell Heirs Legacy Romance (Harwell Heirs Book 5) by Regina Kammer is a Victorian erotic romance with adventure, archaeology, and a surfeit of sensual exploration.
