Excerpt:
Heathens, indeed. Katherine
seethed. De Seabrooke was a murdering barbarian.

Cheers erupted. Women dressed in
velvet and silk, their hair spun up and pinned atop their heads and jewels
caressing their necks, smiled and clapped. The king’s council, resplendent in
Edward’s livery, lauded praise upon de Seabrooke.

What fools. If they only knew the

Standing behind Queen Margaret’s
ladies-in-waiting, she rubbed her clammy palms down the front of her skirt. No
one must suspect she held anything but admiration for the king’s hero.

Tormented
by King Edward’s brutality against Scottish sympathizers, Drake Fletcher vows
revenge, but only a madman single-handedly attacks the Crown. Instead, he
enters the royal court as a spy to aid Robert the Bruce’s rise to power and
place a formidable leader on Scotland’s throne.

Scottish
lass Katherine Mackenzie Armstrong targets three of King Edward’s officers who
brutally raped and murdered her mother. Disguised as one of Queen Margaret’s
attendants, she sets a course to destroy the men.

The acts
of treason both Drake and Katherine commit are punishable by death in The Tower
of London but their determination pushes dangerous limits. Considered enemies,
they use each other to gain vital information. Neither expect their

Will the
weight of retaliation crush them, see them beheaded? Or will Katherine and
Drake form an alliance and learn to live and love again?
