The voice was hauntingly familiar
Blinking furiously, Linnet made out a figure hunched over her. “Sweet Mary, I have died,” she whispered. Dimly she was aware of gentle pokes and prods as he examined her arms and legs.
“I do not think anything is broken.” The man sat back on his haunches. “Can you move your limbs?”
“Simon?” Linnet murmured.
He cocked his head. “You know who I am?”
“But…you perished….”
“Nay, though I came close on a few occasions.”
Joy pulsed through her, so intense it brought fresh tears to eyes that had already cried a river for him.
He leaned closer, his jaw stubbled, his eyes shadowed by their sockets. “Do I know you?”
A laugh bubbled in her throat, wild and a bit hysterical. She cut it off with a sob. She had been right. He did not even remember her or their wondrous moment together….
Dear Reader,
What a perfect time to celebrate history—the eve of a new century. This month we’re featuring four terrific romances with awe-inspiring heroes and heroines from days gone by that you’ll want to take with you into the next century.
Simon of Blackstone, a knight returning from the Crusades, is one of those characters. He’s the valiant hero in Suzanne Barclay’s latest medieval novel, The Champion. This is the first book in our new connected minisenes, KNIGHTS OF THE BLACK ROSE, about a handful of English knights who come home from the horrors of the battlefield to new lives and new loves. Simon returns to confront the father he never knew…and finds himself and his lady love the prime suspects in a chilling murder. Don’t miss this reunion romance with unparalleled twists!
Wolf Heart is the fascinating, timeless hero from Shawnee Bride, an emotion-filled Native American romance by Elizabeth Lane. It’s about a white Shawnee warrior who falls in love with the young woman he rescues from river pirates. In By Queen’s Grace by Shari Anton, Saxon knight Corwin of Lenvil heroically wins the hand and heart of his longtime love, a royal maiden.
Antoinette Huntington is the unforgettable heroine in The Lady and the Outlaw, a new Western by DeLoras Scott. After her husband’s murder, Antoinette flees England and has a romantic run-in with an outlaw on a train headed for the Arizona Territory.
Enjoy! And come back again next month for four more choices of the best in historical romance.
Happy holidays,
