It’s Medieval Monday. I love history and I love the
medieval time period. A lot happened over one thousand years. Do you love
knights in shining armor? Do you love the bands of warriors traveling across
the open fields, fighting battles with pikes and blades? And does courtly
finery excite you? You’ll find all this in the books from other authors I’ll be
sharing with you over the next thirteen weeks. Just like you, these authors LOVE
this time period.

Every week I’ll feature a different author with a
snippet from one of her books. And if you want more of that author, just follow
her excerpt to the next blog. For the next thirteen weeks you’ll enjoy snippets-
that all go together-from the one scene, the first time our hero and heroine
meet. And, yes, buy links will be provided.

Wesley Reynolds
will do anything to avenge his family’s banishment from Dundhragon Castle even
throw in with the notorious pirate, MacAlpin. His plan, ruin Lord Ewan’s trading
network. He has a more devious plan for his father’s ‘best friend,’ the man who

succeeding he can almost taste it, but revenge is not nearly as sweet as
Darla’s kisses.
