Today I'm swapping excerpts with Mary Morgan as she brings us this tid-bit from her book A Highland Moon Enchantment. You can find my excerpt from The Highlander's Crusader Bride on her blog here: http://www.marymorganauthor.com Excerpt: She bowed her head. “A great honor for us, Cathal that ye are here. And aye, we were fortunate to have the assistance of both men.” “How did ye manage to make the journey from Castle Creag? I thought ye were spending it with Cormac Murray and his wife,” asked Desmond, reaching for a trencher of breads. Cathal swirled the contents of his cup, before glancing at Duncan. “The weather was fine—no sign of rain or snow, so I left them in the care of another druid and sought the path to Urquhart.” He tapped a finger to his head. “My sight told me I might be needed here.” * * * Follow Mary's excerpt next week on Barbara Bettis’s blog: http://barbarabettis.blogspot.com/ I'll be swapping excerpts with Ruth A.

Book Blurb: You first meet this warrior in Dragon Knight’s Axe, Order of the Dragon Knights, Book 3 Irish warrior, Desmond O’Quinlan has never surrendered his heart to any woman. He has no wish to have his soul tortured by love. Yet, the moment he locks gazes with Ailsa, his fate is destined for an adventure he never fathomed. He may have battled alongside a Dragon Knight, but his greatest challenge will come from within his own heart. Ailsa MacDuff, a warrior among her clan, has no desire to have a man chain her to a life of obedience. However, that is before she meets Desmond. The temptation to allow this warrior inside her heart is a risk she dares to take, but one that could lead to a future of emptiness and sorrow. When betrayal looms from within, the battleground of love is no match for these two warriors. Can the power of a Highland full moon be strong enough to unite or destroy them? Buy Links: AMAZON

Why make that promise when you knew you could not keep it?” Amazing how much vehemence she could pack into a whisper. “I did not know you were unfamiliar with the bedding ceremony. I assumed you had attended other ladies before.” He managed a hint of reproach; ’twas not his fault the girl had not been informed. “But you knew about it, Thomas.” “Aye, I did.” “So you knew this would happen; that we would be put in this bed and made to…” * * * Find out Thomas' response next week on Ruth A.

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.
