HaBO: We’re Hunting a Historical Teaser Chapter

by SB Sarah

This request comes from Jennie, who is looking for a book based on a teaser chapter she read awhile back:

Last year I read a teaser chapter at the end of another book, and now I can't get it out of my head and would like to read the whole story. Of course, I can't remember the name of the book the teaser chapter was from, or what book the chapter was in!

The book it was in probably came out in the last 5 years and was a regency historical. The teaser chapter is also a historical (I'm pretty sure Regency) and the heroine (possibly widowed?) was visiting a friend who was going through some sort of hard time (recently widowed?) except the heroine was regretting the visit because the friend was a total pill and extremely annoying to be around.

The heroine needs to escape for a while so she's taking a walk (near the sea, IIRC) and climbs a large hill or cliff on her way back and somehow injures her ankle. While doing this, she's ruminating on the evil/mad/somehow bad titled gentleman of the area and then oh no! She's injured and stranded on his land!

And oh no! who is this dark and brooding figure coming to save her? The Evil/mad/bad titled gentleman!

Will he save her or kill her? (I'm assuming he saves her and then they become partners in sexytimes, but I haven't read more than that teaser chapter so I can't say for sure.)

Do you recognize it at all?

If he ends up killing her, it's probably not a romance, but that's just a guess. Do you recognize this book?
