- You are welcome to post buy links too.
- PG (I don’t have a warning on my blog about content, so it has to be appropriate for all I will delete comments that aren’t appropriate or offensive to some audiences. (Sorry.)
I will also delete posts that are significantly over five lines. These are meant to be tantalizing snippets.
This week, if you’d like, share the snippet when your hero and heroine confess their love.
My Excerpt is from Heartbreak and Honor which releases next week!!
“Promise you’ll have no regrets?” Biting her lower lip, she trailed a finger across the seam of his mouth.
Raining feather-light kisses over her face and alabaster neck, he pulled her tight against him. “Not now, or in a month, or a decade, or fifty years.”
“Not if a half-century passes, and I’ve grown fat and wrinkled? And toothless and bald?” Alexa skimmed her fingertips across his forehead before sliding her hand into the hair above his ear.
He chuckled as he palmed her cheek, his nose touching hers. “Not if time ceases.”
“What if I prove a bumbling, inadequate duchess?”
Rubbing his thumb along her fine jawbone, he whispered fervently, “None of those things matters a whit. Having you at my side until I draw my final breath is what I care about.”
I’m sure I’m going to do a lot of sighing this week!

Excerpt from The One & More (The Only One) #2
Adelia wiped her eyes and tried to pull herself together. She felt empty and robbed of emotion. A part of her wanted to hate Miles for his part in the destruction of their marriage, but a part of her felt sorry for him. He had lost as much, if not more, than she had. Her voice choked with sorrow.
Very poignant, Belle.
Collette, what a lovely excerpt. He certainly has a way with words!
In my snippet, from The Prisoners of Wyvern Castle (a novella in my December release Hand-Turned Tales), Rupert does not declare his love for the wife he was forced to marry and with whom he has been imprisoned for four months, but he shows it.
Well then. This was his only chance. He could trade his own safety and the survival of his violin for the safety of his wife, and stated in those terms the decision was easy.
“Take the countess with you, Lord Morpeth, I beg you. She is not safe here. Lady Wyvern and Graviton have been keeping us prisoner, and they mean her harm.”
Lady Wyvern tried to brush it off. “Such a joke is in poor taste, Penworth.”
“I beg you, Lord Morpeth,” Rupert repeated. Madeline had both her hands on his arm, now, and he covered them with his free hand to calm their shaking.
This is fabulous, Jude!
