 Welcome to Medieval Monday! Today starts a new round of
authors, snippets, and fun. Our fall theme is Nature.

We’re doing things a bit differently this go-round. We are
all posting out snippets on out own blogs. Each week, we will be posting links on
the Medieval Romance
Lovers
Facebook page. You can use the hashtag #medmonfall20 to find
all the posts.

I am so excited about this fall’s posts. My new medieval
romance, Donald, the third and final book in the Sons of Sagamore series which
is part of The Pirates of Britannia Connected World releases October 8th.
So sit back and enjoy the snippets. I’ll be posting the buy link as soon as it
is available!

Donald:
Sons of Sagamore

The Pirates of Britannia Connected World

He surrendered his heart
and would give his life for her to succeed.

Andrea Ricard, an inquisitive scholar
of antiquities travels with her uncle to help him with his trade business. When
she finds her mother’s family name on a piece of a map associated with the
location of a rare relic, she is compelled to find it. Nothing will get in her
way to unearth its secrets.

Donald MacDougall Tyler Eden has
enjoyed carefree life, but over the last year he has found satisfaction working
with his brother Hugh, who has a successful investment business. He has forged
a close relationship with one of their business partners, Andrea’s uncle. On a
visit to Hugh, Donald meets Andrea and is smitten. When Andrea finds that an
antique in Hugh’s collection contains another piece to her mysterious map she
is more determined than ever to find the relic. Donald is drawn into her
adventure and volunteers to accompany her on her quest.

Andrea has only told Donald
half-truths for fear he would not join her. The relic is surrounded by mystery
and prophecy. A disgraced soldier with hopes of repairing his relationship with
the king has found out about the relic and is just as determined as Andrea to
secure it for himself.

Andrea and Donald’s belief in what’s
right as well as each other will be tested on a journey filled with adventure
and hardships as they race across the vineyards of the Champagne region in
France, up the east coast of England to an ancient church in Bamburgh.

Can Andrea and
her MacDougall warrior resolve the mystery, face the prophecy,
vanquish the villain… and find their happily ever after.

Snippet

Andrea
moved, creating a distraction, but Rufus stopped her with the point of his sword.

“Bring
them both here. This is a good place for her to watch him die,” Davenport said.

Donald
had to keep his focus. The vicar and Andrea’s lives depended on him. If he had
to fight with his hands, so be it.

As
Rufus moved the vicar and Andrea toward Davenport, the vicar grabbed the
chalice from the top of the tomb and threw the tainted water at Rufus.

The
man dropped his sword and tried to wipe the water from his face.

As Donald
placed his hand on the ground to get to his feet, his hand found a metal hilt. He
pulled the sword from the debris and stood.

With
each breath, he set his resolve. This was his final battle. Andrea’s life was
the prize. By god’s toes, let the ancient warriors of his clan give him the
strength to succeed.
