The Duke’s New Year’s Resolution by Merline Lovelace

“Do you remember asking me if Italians make New Year’s resolutions?”

His face cast in shadows, Marco reached up to tuck a wayward strand behind Sabrina’s ear.

“I do. And as I recall, you said that was an all-American tradition.”

“I’ve decided to make one tonight.”

She had to smile at his solemn expression. “Want to tell me what it is?”

“It’s you, Sabrina mia.”

As if consumed by the need to touch her, Marco drew his fingertips across her cheek, brushed her lips, cupped her chin. “I know we agreed to move one step at a time. I know I’m pushing when I should be patient. But I’ve resolved to do whatever I can, whatever I must, to keep you in Italy. And in my heart.”

Sheer surprise took her breath away.

“I have no intention of marrying you.”

“You might want to think this through carefully,” Quade cautioned.

“There is nothing to think about. I have no plans to get married, especially to you. I don’t even know you.”

“Then I suggest you get to know me. Like it or not, I don’t intend for you or our children not to carry my name.”

“My babies and I have a name. Steele. Thank you very much for your offer, but we don’t need another one. I happen to like the one we have.”

“And I happen to like the name Westmoreland for you and our babies better.”

“Too bad,” she snapped.

“No, too good,” he replied.

And too late, Cheyenne thought, when she noticed his gaze had zeroed in on her mouth.
