Today I'm sharing the hop with Elisabeth Hobbes and an excerpt from her book, Redeeming the Rogue Knight! You can find my excerpt on Elisabeth's blog here: https://elisabethhobbes.co.uk/ Excerpt: Lucy was running at full tilt towards the river and the road skirting round the town. She ignored Roger’s cry. He broke into a run and seized her by the arm. She fought him, but Roger was not to be deterred. He took her by the waist and held her tight, hands spread in the hollow of her spine. She wriggled in his arms like a dove trying to escape a hawk. He’d dreamed of holding her this close, the tantalising moments when they had come close to kissing had driven him wild, but this was not what he had imagined. * * * Follow along next week for Elisabeth's next excerpt on Ruth A.

The Lady of the Forest “Yes?” Kate tried to keep her manner calm, but dread made her voice shake. When Jamie didn’t continue, she prompted, “What about Oscar?” “They’re going to chop off his fingers. Tomorrow, so’s everyone can watch. He’s to be made a ’zample.” “An example?” Jamie nodded. “Maude says as how the lord wants folks to see what’ll happen if they don’t do what he says. Especially ’bout going into the forest. She were cryin’ something awful.” A wave of nausea hit Kate. She caught her breath in a sharp, “Ah,” and sank onto a stool. His fingers. An especially cruel sentence for a champion archer. She couldn’t allow Oscar to be hurt. “Let me think for a bit.” She forced confidence into her tone to reassure the lad. “We’ll find a way to help.” * * * Follow Barbara's excerpts next week at http://www.jennifletcher.com/.

Torn apart by circumstances neither Katherine nor Riorden could ever imagine, Time becomes their true enemy even while Marguerite continues her ploy to keep Riorden at her side.

Week 12: Leda tossed the satchel containing everything she owned in the world—two extra shifts, a comb, and a pair of knitted socks—into the corner. Fear and uncertainty threatened to be her undoing, but she tamped down her anxiety and did as he bade her. * * * Follow along next week at Ruth A. Casie’s blog.

You can find my week 12 snippet from The Highlander's Viking Bride on Bambi's blog HERE. * * * Blurb: After escaping the brutal tyrant who holds her under his boot, Leda’s newfound hope is shattered to discover her safe-haven to be nothing more than a den of brutal Norsemen, intent on conquering all of Francia and claiming its riches for their own. When she is offered as a bed slave to the fiercest Viking of them all, she despairs to realize freedom comes at a price. Brondulf Adilson has struck terror into his enemies for as long as he can remember, to include the women who share his bed. Shunned for his frightful appearance, he doesn’t expect compliance from his new thrall and is resigned to forcing her to his will. But the beauty he finds himself saddle with turns out to be anything but meek and compliant. Buy Link Amazon |
