Hi
Iris, thank you very much for this chance to share a snippet of Knight
Errant with you and your readers.
He
had failed to dent her serene armor. Worse, he had committed himself to a
troublesome and unnecessary journey to Palermo. How had she done it? Without
saying a word, Juliana had somehow bent his will to hers, and he had not even
gotten her clear promise to return to England.
He
studied her shining calm. His father had worn a similar serenity. Robert had
adored the man’s good-natured control. Control that cloaked an evil too great
to tolerate, even in a beloved parent.
What
threat to a man’s soul did Lady Juliana hide beneath her tranquility? He watched the gentle sway of her hips as she
went to help the cook with his pots. Robert’s body hardened, despite the
knowledge that he would never touch her. The woman was a menace. Edward was
right to want her under some man’s thumb. It could not happen soon enough to
suit Robert.
Too
bad Palermo lay more than a month distant and the same back again. ’Twas more
weeks of traveling with her serenity than he wanted to risk. But risk it he
must. He could not simply ignore her. Before they reached Palermo, he had to
convince Juliana to return to England. Saint Swithan’s shroud! How he was to
accomplish that without setting hands on her, he did not know.
Every
medieval woman needs a weapon, Juliana Verault’s sharpest blade is her smile,
but Robert Clarwyn soon realizes how to get under the lady’s guard. For more
about Knight Errant and my other books I provide a blurb and links
below.
BLURB
Lady Juliana Verault gladly left England—and its men—far behind in
her quest to live as a Beguine. But the Christian community ceases to provide a
safe haven when she’s called to travel to Palermo, Italy, where she’s entrusted
with a letter from the pope that could radically change the church’s stance on
women. Juliana holds the key to upending the power structure throughout Europe,
but only if she can dodge her cousin, King Edward I of England, and his
betrothal plans for her.
Edward
sets Sir Robert Clarwyn, a knight errant and loyal hunter of criminals and
traitors, on Juliana’s trail to retrieve her. Robert has never failed to bring
home his target before … but then, he has never encountered a quarry like Lady
Juliana, who can befuddle and bemuse him with just a smile.
If he
can’t find a way to compel her to return to England, he’ll lose any chance of
regaining his family lands and redeeming his heritage. Yet Juliana must
complete her mission or risk endangering her gender’s future in the faith.
With danger and intrigue mounting,
Robert and Juliana must rely on each other and be willing to risk everything …
including their hearts.

ABOUT
RUE
Author of historical, contemporary and
erotic romances, I fell in love with happily ever after the
day I heard my first story. (Yes, I was a precocious little brat who read at
the age of two, but I could hear much earlier than that.) I studied literature
for far too many years before discovering that writing stories was much more
fun than analyzing them. Heck, as an author, I get to read the story before
anyone else. I am happily married to my sweetheart of many, many years. My
husband and I share the home of two cats, who condescend to allow me to feed
them and clean their litter box. (The cats only tolerate my husband's
assistance when I am not available.)They occasionally permit me to pet them but
demand my love and attention as their right. (Funny, my husband demands the
same. Could I be married to my cats? Does that make me a trigamist?) Regardless
of my specific relationship status with our cats, I am in awe of their feline
ability to dominate with half a glance or a mere twitch of tail. Insatiably
curious, an avid reader and traveler, I love to hear from readers about your
favorite books and real life adventures. Crazy Cat stories are especially
welcome. You can send me your words of wisdom... Don't shake your head at me;
all words are wise in one context or another. You can trust me on this; I'm an
author. As I was saying, you can send your words of wisdom, humor, and
friendship to me at contact@RueAllyn.com. Can't wait to hear from you.
