Welcome back to Medieval
Monday. We had such a terrific response with our author exchange blog hop that
we're doing it again. Today I’m hosting Judith Sterling on my blog and she is
hosting me on her blog. Here is her snippet from Shadow of the Swan, Book Three of The Novels of Ravenwood
Excerpt
Sitting without repose
on one of the solar’s high-backed chairs, Constance shifted positions. An
unexpected chill crept in with the evening. The shutters were closed, and a
fire danced and hissed on the hearth. The room was aglow with candles whose
light harmonized to showcase the exquisite tapestries on the wall. Vibrant yet
vulnerable, the flames quivered at the slightest draft.
Her stomach quivered,
too, as she stared at her half-eaten pigeon pie. Whatever made me agree to
share his bed? The mention of rats? The thought of a prickly straw mat between
her back and the cold, hard floor?

Blurb
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.
