Unwrapping Romance Themed Excerpt Hop

Picture
Welcome to the Historical Romance Unwrapping Romance Themed Excerpt Hop!

Below you'll find the rest of this excerpt from The Highlander's Welsh Bride as well as links to excerpts from some of your favorite historical romance authors!
Enjoy!

The Highlander's Welsh Bride excerpt:

Carys struggled to keep her hands from fisting and exposing the anger churning beneath her breast. The man gained everything from marriage and left her without even the ability to see her previous responsibilities were met. This was no convenient step away from the hangman’s noose, but one straight into the darkest trap. At least the hangman was honest in what he offered. All the acceptance she’d reluctantly gathered to support this mad scheme scattered like startled grouse at the first sign of a predator.
“I will not walk into this and lose every freedom I have fought hard to possess.” She advanced a step, clenching her fists tight, shoulders bristled forward. “You hold the upper hand with your outrageous law, but if you expect blind obedience from me, I will gladly face the noose instead!”
His brows plunged together. He opened his mouth, but a loud thump sounded at the door a second before it opened. A man Carys did not recognize stepped inside.
“Pirates,” he murmured, his voice low and urgent.
A common enemy.
“I can fight,” Carys stated, stepping firmly toward the door. Birk’s outstretched arm blocked her path.
“No need.”
She bristled. “Do not presume I will retire meekly when I can be of assistance,” she warned. “I will not live beneath the heel of your boot.”
Birk appeared before her in a swift, silent move, scarcely a hand’s breadth away. “Fight whom ye will, so long as it isnae me.”
“Do not give me reason,” she countered, tilting her face upward to meet his hard gaze.
His breath, warm and heavy, betrayed some emotion in him. Carys’s heart sped, not from the threat of pirates, but from his overwhelming maleness. He was a formidable foe—and would make a passionate defender. Or lover.

Medieval Monday Blog Hop with Ceci Giltenan

Picture
 Today I'm welcoming Ceci  Giltenan to the Medieval  Monday blog hop.

Follow along with her 5th snippet of her hero and heroine's first encounter from her book, Highland Redemption.

Week 5:
​ Tomas laughed, “I never thought  about that. I just really liked the  name when I was a wee lad.”  His grin broadened as another  memory came to him.
 “What amuses you so?”
“I was just remembering that I liked the name so much, I wanted my parents to name my baby sister Mab.” 
She laughed and Tomas delighted in the sound. It enveloped him in a sweet warmth.
“How many brothers and sisters do you have?”
Damn. Tomas had inadvertently revealed more than he wished anyone at Cotharach to know. He’d have to tread carefully. “I have two brothers and a sister.”
“Older or younger?”
“All younger.”
                                            * * *
Follow along next week on Ruth A. Casie’s website: http://ruthacasie.blogspot.com/. Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win an e-copy of Highland Redemption or another e-book of your choice by Ceci Giltenan.

You can also find my 5th week snippet on Ceci's blog at www,https://cecigiltenan.com. (You can comment there, too, for an extra chance to win!!)
                                             * * *
Blurb:
Tomas's life changed forever when at the age of seven he was adopted by Laird and Lady Maclan ending the abuse he'd suffered at Ambrose Ruthven's hand. He'd never looked back and never intended to
But fate had other plans...
Now, nineteen years later, he runs headlong into his past. The Ruthvens are in trouble and Tomas is in a position to help them. But can he set aside his hatred for Laird Ruthven for the good of the clan into which he was born?
Fate always adds a twist...
Laird Ruthven's daughter is not what Tomas expected. Vida Ruthven is sweet, smart, and utterly irresistible.
Now, Tomas must choose between being the savior or taking the ultimate revenge.
