Author’s Choice

This time around on Medieval Monday our theme is simply Author’s choice. Each author get to choose their own theme–celebration, food, betrayal–everything is on the table.

I have chosen a celebration–a wedding and more particularly a wedding night–for my snippet. My excerpt is from Betrayal and can be found this week at  Judith’s  blog if you’d like to keep up with my story.

This week on my blog, is an excerpt from

Judith Sterling’s

Shadow of the Swan

(The Novels of Ravenwood, Book 3)

Excerpt:

She folded her hands in her lap. “Sir, your appetite is a thing of wonder.”

He swallowed, then grinned at her. “Why, thank you.” His smile disappeared. “Or do you criticize?”

“Not criticize. Marvel.”

His dimples were back. The one on the right was deeper. “I’m a man of many talents, and eating is one of them.” He took another bite.

“Evidently.”

Blurb:

Haunted by memories; healed by love.

Lady Constance de Bret was determined to be a nun, until shadows from the past eclipsed her present.  Marriage is the safest option, but she insists on a spiritual union, in which physical intimacy is forbidden.  Not so easy with a bridegroom who wields unparalleled charm!  But a long-buried secret could taint his affection and cloak her in shadow forever.

Back from the Crusades, Sir Robert le Donjon craves a home of his own and children to inherit it.  From the moment he meets Constance, he feels a mysterious bond between them.  When she’s threatened, he vows to protect her and agrees to the spiritual marriage, with the hope of one day persuading her to enjoy a “real” one.  She captivates him but opens old wounds and challenges everything he thought he believed.

Two souls in need of healing.  Two hearts destined to beat as one.
