The Sins of a Few
by Sarah
Ballance
BLURB:
Salem,
1692
The
moment he steps off the boat and into his hometown of Salem, Nathanial Abbot
knows the rumors about Salem are indeed true. For in the two years since he's
left Salem—disowned by his family and seeking a fortune of his own—the town has
changed. It is dark with discord and suspicion... and accusations of
witchcraft. Now all that remains for him is the woman he's never forgotten.
But
Faith Downing isn't happy to see Nathanial. In his absence, his younger sisters
have ignited the chain of hysteria that resulted in twenty deaths—including
Faith's aunt, to whom Nathanial owed his life. Yet through her acrimony, Faith
can't prevent herself from responding to the man Nathanial has become, handsome
and kind. A man who kindles something in her that speaks of sin.

Excerpt
“Forgive me,”
she said, “but it is not every day I find a brute within the walls of my home.”
“A brute? I
suppose I have been called worse.”
“And by my
tongue, as you well know.”
“I
remember…rather fondly, in fact.” His gaze touched her mouth and lingered.
Instinctively
she wet her lips, then pressed them tightly together when his curved into a
responding smile. “My tongue is none of your concern,” she snapped. She should
take a step back before those eyes rendered her a blathering fool, but she was
powerless to do so. Something about this infinitely handsome man held her, and
she liked it.
He leaned
close, and his nearness flowed through her with a force unmatched by the
fiercest storm. They were too close for the heat from the fire to penetrate the
space between them, but she was in no need of warmth. She could not imagine she
would ever be cold again.
And the slant
of his mouth suggested he knew it.
If he came
any closer she would know the taste of his lips, and when he spoke she wondered
if she did not feel the slightest brush.
“Perhaps not
now, little one,” he whispered, “but be assured I am most concerned with
yours.”
“Your
concerns are wasted,” she shot back, but the words lacked bite. And she lacked
resolve, though thoughts of the parade of London patricians he had likely
entertained with that tongue straightened her spine. “You can keep all of your
well-oiled parts to yourself. I want nothing of you, and you certainly need not
worry for my tongue.”
“To the
contrary,” he said. “I find your entire mouth delightful. And be assured,
before the night ends you will find yourself equally concerned with mine.”
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Sarah and her
husband of what he calls “many long, long years” live on the mid-Atlantic coast
with their six young children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when they’re
asleep. She never dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling mom she
often jokes she writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to her,
she has to make them up. (As it turns out, her characters aren’t much better
than the kids.) When not buried under piles of laundry, she may be found adrift
in the Atlantic (preferably on a boat) or in search of that ever-elusive
perfect writing spot where not even the kids can find her. To learn more about her work in contemporary,
historical, and supernatural romance and romantic suspense, please stalk
accordingly.
