#MedMonFall20 ~A Knight in Rusted Armor

Huzzah, Medieval Romance Lovers! Welcome back to another round of Medieval Monday. Here you may discover new authors writing about love in our favorite time period. Our theme is nature, my favorite. This time we are posting an excerpt from our own books then sharing each other’s snippets on social media. Today I’m sharing an excerpt from my #MedievalRomance, A Knight in Rusted Armor.

BLURB: Allys Stone would risk repute as a ruined woman to gain control of her life. Thorin Svenson would battle the most skilled knights in the realm to win her. Theirs is a love story of fairy tales and wild passion, a battle of wills as well as brawn.

Allys wants to choose her own husband, one who loves life and laughter as much as she does. One who considers her a partner instead of a possession. She has never had any choice but to live by her father’s decisions, and now he’s offering her as grand prize in a tournament.

Thorin must win the hand of a nobleman’s daughter to regain the wealth and position of his family. Consumed by guilt, he will risk his very life to win. Not even her attempts to sabotage his victory will get in his way.

EXCERPT: Allys slept late again the next day. He hates me, she thought the instant she opened her eyes. She had a sinking feeling deep in her stomach at the thought, but she swallowed against it. She wanted him to hate her, did she not? Perhaps he would withdraw. A sudden wave of panic swept over her. She scrubbed her fists against her eyes. She would not lose herself to him. If he hated her, if he packed his things and left, so be it.

Fanny slipped into the room, blessedly interrupting her thoughts. Allys stretched languidly as her maid rushed around her room opening shutters and chattering pleasantly. Claire had already gone. Allys wondered briefly if the little harlot had even come to bed. A quick glance told she had slept in the bed they shared, but Allys guessed it was not for long.

“Oh. It near slipped my mind,” Fanny said. She pulled a note from the pocket of her apron and handed it to her mistress. “He said t’ give it to you soon as you were awake.” She walked to the wardrobe and fingered Allys’ casual gowns. “What shall you wear today?”
