BLURB:
No longer content in the shadows of his
older brothers and on a quest to find his destiny, Bryce Fraser's chosen path
is fraught with danger, passion, and decisions. Can his unspoken love for
spirited, beguiling Fallon be triumphant in a time of war and uncertainty, or
will they both fall prey to the devious plans of a traitorous laird from a
rival clan?

EXCERPT:
Loch
Ryan Scotland, 1307
“Wa
. . . water,” Bryce mumbled, but there was no one there to listen.
His throat was parched and he ran his tongue
over dry, cracked lips, but his action offered no relief. An entire loch lay
only a few feet away, but he couldn’t muster the strength to drag himself to
the bank and quench his thirst.
“Cold
. . . so cold.”
Despite the sun beating down on him, he’d
swear he was encased in ice. His life’s blood seeped from his wounds, soaking
the ground beneath him. He tried to raise his head, but the excruciating pain
radiating across his chest stole his breath away.
Was
this what it felt like to die? If so, he prayed the Almighty would be merciful
and take him now.
Bryce
moaned, a shift in his position bringing on another nauseating wave of agony.
He sucked in a short, sharp, gulp of air and stretched his arm out as
far as he could, his fingers grappling in the dirt.
If
only I could reach my sword.
Beads
of perspiration dampened his brow. As the strength slowly drained from his
body, drawing a simple breath became more difficult. The end grew near. No time
to make amends for sins of the past, and he had committed his share.
Regrets?
He had those, too. “Fallon.” He whispered her name then heaved a ragged sigh.

AUTHOR
Bio and Links:
With
a passion for historical romance, history in general, and anything Celtic, B.J.
always has an exciting work in progress. Each story offers a blend of romance,
adventure, suspense, and, where appropriate, a dab of comic relief. Carefully
researched historical facts are woven into each manuscript, providing a
backdrop from which steamy romance, gripping plots, and vivid
characters—dashing alpha heroes and resourceful, beguiling heroines you can’t
help but admire—spring to life. A member of RWA, World Romance Writers, Celtic
Hearts Romance Writers, and Savvy Authors, B.J. also writes contemporary,
paranormal, time travel, and romantic suspense.
C.S.
Lewis first captivated B. J.’s imagination in the fourth grade, and her desire
to write sprang from there. Following a career in nursing and child and youth
work, B.J. married her knight-in-shining-armor, and he whisked her away to his
castle by the sea. In reality, they share their century-old home in a small
Canadian town on the shore of Lake Erie with three dogs and a cat. When she is
not working at her childcare job, on her small business, or writing, you will
find her reading, camping, or antique hunting.
Thank you for the excerpt.
