Excerpt #6- Beleaguered by Jenna Jaxon
“Your marriage to Seigneur Braeton was not valid.”
“Not valid?” Her face flushed red, and she
trembled. “How was it not valid? Our vows were spoken before the cathedral in
London. Princess Joanna herself was a witness to it. And it was solemnized
within the church immediately afterward by the Bishop of London. We were
married in the sight of God and in the sight of man.”
“I did not give consent to the marriage, which was
my right. Seigneur Braeton’s offer reached me in early August, but I
rejected it.”
Blurb:
When death holds sway in the world, can
even the greatest love survive?
Finally in France, Alyse and Thomas’s
passion for one another continues to smolder hot and deep—until one fateful
encounter changes everything.
During a formal banquet, Alyse must share
an intimate dance her first love. His searing touch proves Alyse’s desire for
him is as strong as when they first met. Tormented by this revelation, Alyse is
bitterly torn between the love of her life and her love for her husband.
Into this agonizing situation, the disaster
of the Black Death rears its head. Alyse, Thomas and Geoffrey must try to save
the princess from the ravening disease but at a dire cost to themselves. With
her world plunged into chaos, Alyse struggles with her feelings for both of the
men she loves. But which love will survive?
