title: A Proposal to Secure His Vengeance (Harlequin Presents)
author:  Kate Walker 
description: Kate Walker was always making up stories. She can't remember a time when she wasn't scribbling away at something and wrote her first book when she was eleven. She went to Aberystwyth University, met her future husband and after three years of being a full-time housewife and mother she turned to her old love of writing. Mills &amp; Boon accepted a novel after two attempts, and Kate has been writing ever since. Visit Kate at her website at: www.kate-walker.com

  “Are you ever at anything else?” he parried.
  
  “If that is what you think, I wonder that you bother with me, m’lord.” She
  felt the cut to her slowly awakening heart.
  
  “Were it not for our contract, I wonder if I would.”
  
  “I release you from your obligation. Destroy our contract.”
  
  “You would like that, would you not? Then you could avoid the issue at hand.”
  
  “I do not know what you mean,” she faltered, knowing full well what he was
  suggesting.
  
  He stopped mere inches from her, and his eyes met hers directly, forbidding
  her the escape of looking away. “I think you are very aware of what is
  happening here, Annica…!”
