Welcome back to Medieval Monday! This is week five of
the 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.

“No
one should have this,” she said. “We must send it back where it came from. It’s
the only way to destroy it.”

They
went behind the boulder to the small alter. Andrea replaced the chalice in the
niche. Donald took the stone he had removed and set it back in place. The water
that had previously been a trickle began to flow faster over the rocks.

Their
task done, they turned to leave. The room rumbled and shifted. The stone Donald
set fell backwards onto the chalice shattering it into a thousand pieces. All
that was left in the center of the niche was the chalice’s red stone.

“Quick.”
Donald grabbed the vicar and pushed Andrea ahead of him. As they reached the narrow
doorway, they heard a loud scraping sound. Donald pushed Andrea and the vicar
out of the room.

He swung
around in time to see the niche’s keystone give way. Its point crushed the red the
stone and sent a burst of red dust into the air.
