Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors again. I’m so enjoying seeing my old friends and finding new authors. Hope you all have a great Sunday!
In case you haven’t heard:
BETROTHAL RELEASED ON APRIL 19!
HOORAY!
So, today you get the truly final 8 from Betrothal, my medieval romance set in the 14th century. This snippet immediately follows yesterday’s Sweet Saturday Sample (view here).
“So His Majesty could set a betrothal aside?”
Maurya nodded slowly. “If there existed a compelling enough reason, yes, of course he could, but a quarrel with Sir Geoffrey would hardly qualify as such.” She captured Alyse’s gaze and her face seemed to harden. “Especially since King Edward favors the Longfords.” She paused. “Do you not know to whom Lady Mary is now betrothed?”
Alyse shook her head, a coldness stealing through her.
“Sir Roland of Longford, Sir Geoffrey’s elder brother.”
Alyse closed her eyes and swallowed hard.
Betrothal is available at Amazon and Smashwords. It will be available at other e-tailers shortly.

Awesome…and I somehow think that might not be the final word on setting aside the betrothal. 🙂

Alyse is certainly tenacious. She knows what she wants–or thinks she does. And is willing to go after it. 🙂 Thanks for coming by!

LOL It’s hard keeping up with all these snippets. 🙂 Basically it means that the king can break a betrothal if he wants to. And he wants himself allied with the Longfords for reasons of his own. So if he’s pleased with the betrothal of Geoffrey and Alyse (which he is), she’s got a snowball’s chance in hell of him breaking it. Will that little detail stop her hopes of Lord Bareton? That would be telling. LOL Thanks for coming by, Sue!
