Welcome to Medieval
Monday Spring 2020. Our theme this season is nature. Today, I’m happy to host
Jenna Jaxon. Lady Alyce is in love with Thomas but is betrothed to his best
friend Geoffrey. Both are good men worthy of her love. In this season’s
snippets, Geoffrey is taking Alyce who has recently recovered from the Black
Death to her family in Spain. They are camped under the stars for the evening.
Alyce mentions a dalliance with Thomas. Now she is faced with a dilemma. Does
she tell him truthfully who instigated the event, or not?  Read on!
Snippet
#3 – Time Enough to Love
When Lady Alyse de Courcy is betrothed to Sir Geoffrey
Longford, she has no choice but to make the best of a bad bargain. The hulking
knight is far from her ideal man, and although he does possess some wit and
charm, he is no match for the sinfully sensual man she secretly admires,
Thomas, Earl of Braeton, her betrothed’s best friend.

From the first, Sir Geoffrey finds himself
smitten by Lady Alyse, and, despite her infatuation with his friend, vows to
win her love. When Geoffrey puts his mind to wooing Alyse, he is delighted to
find her succumbing to his seduction. But when cruel circumstances separate
them, Geoffrey must watch helplessly as Thomas steps in to protect Alyse—and
falls in love with her himself.

As the three courtiers accompany Princess Joanna
to her wedding in Spain, they run headlong into the Black Plague. With her
world plunged into chaos, Alyse struggles with her feelings for both the men
she loves. But which love will survive?

Excerpt
Alyse
shook her head and avoided his gaze. “The night you helped smuggle me up on the
deck of the Phillipa.”
“By
God’s death!” Geoffrey swore, the curse vehement enough to startle the horses.
“Thomas had a wild streak in him, aye. He loved to flaunt convention, but to
force you…his wife…to…to…in a public place where anyone could have seen
you.” 
“No,
Geoffrey.” She raised her head so she could meet his eyes. She would bare the
whole tale, for she would not let him malign Thomas. “’Twas not that way at
all… ’twas my idea.”
