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/.

8/28/2017 3 Comments Medieval Monday with Nicole LockeWelcome to week #4 in our Medieval Monday blog hop! Today I'm sharing my snippet with Nicole Locke on her blog here. Let a bit of Christmas cheer chase those end-of-August blues with a snippet from Nicole Locke's book, Her Christmas Knight. Remember to comment below (and on all our wonderful blogs) for a chance to win this and other ebooks from the Medieval Monday authors! Snippet: Laughter. High-pitched and suddenly snuffed out. Where had it come from? It had burst out and disappeared too quickly for her to tell. Was it the other seal seekers or someone hiding in the shadows? She pushed away from the wall and walked to the left. She might be going in circles, but she had to move. The riddle had hinted at additional seals. The others might be ahead of her. Not daring to run any more, she quickened her steps. If the other seekers were close and she slipped and the seal fell she would never find it again. But she couldn’t be too cautious. If she was quick enough she’d have the prize—she’d be out of the dark. Another step and another—until the floor dropped. Book Blurb: A knight to protect her—this Yuletide By order of the English king, Alice of Swaffham searches London nobility for the traitor dealing information to the Scots. Little does she know that the mysterious spy she seeks is the man she once loved and thought she'd lost forever… If Hugh of Shoebury felt unworthy of Alice before, as the Half-Thistle spy he can never claim her heart. Now he must fight to keep not only his dark secrets--and Alice—safe from a vengeful king…but also his burning longing for her at bay!

This week, Barbara Bettis and I are exchanging snippets from our hero and heroine's first encounters. You can find mine here. Her snippet is from her book, The Lady of the Forest, a book I think has a bit of a Robin Hood flair :-) I hope you enjoy following along! Commenting on the posts enters you in a drawing for an ecopy of each book presented in this section of Medieval Monday! Excerpt for week #2: “But you’ll turn him in, won’t you?” His voice hitched. Her glance took in the prisoner’s face that seemed so familiar. She had no choice. “We must.” Still looking troubled, Jamie darted out. Young or no, the boy understood the danger they courted. While soldiers combed the area for a stranger, none of her people were safe. But once Sir Mortimer had his hands on the man he wanted, he’d call off his mongrels. Kate had to believe that. Book blurb: BLURB: He must pursue his enemy; she must protect her people. Can their love survive the duties that drive them apart? When her elderly husband dies, Lady Katherine fakes her own death and disappears into the forest with others escaping the brutish new lord. Determined to protect her people, she knocks the wrong man senseless. But Lord Henry isn’t an enemy, he’s the brother of her childhood friend. Although his tender confidence tempts her, she’s bound by duty. Henry of Chauvere has found the one lady he wants for his own, never mind she’s tied him hand and foot. When he learns the king has ordered her to wed Stonehill’s ruthless new master, he insists Kate seek haven with his sister. But she won’t desert her friends. Henry vows to solve her problem, provided he catches a traitor before the threat from Kate's past catches her. When a daring rescue compels Henry and Kate to join forces, their attraction grows into love. If only duty didn’t drive them apart.
