Medieval Monday! A King’s Enemies by Lane McFarland!
It’s Medieval Monday! We are featuring author’s choice this time around. Please follow along with the excerpt each week for your chance to win prizes and read exciting romances.
For this week, please help me welcome Lane McFarland! The continuing excerpt is from her novel, A King’s Enemies.
Excerpt –
The ruthless miscreants would not recognize her. They wouldn’t have given the young lass who’d escaped their brutality another thought. But she had thought of them.
Every day.
Every night.
She raked her teeth across her lip. De Seabrooke would journey to Edinburgh soon. She’d better come up with a plan quickly lest she lose her chance to destroy him. Perhaps she would seek the aid of Scottish rebels. It wasn’t the first time she’d considered searching for them, offering information in exchange for their help in removing the vermin.
Although her views didn’t exactly match the rebels’ beliefs, their cause could work to her advantage. They fought for Scotland’s freedom and would jump at any chance to thwart the king. Perhaps a mutual agreement could be reached to benefit them both.
The idea had merit. It would reduce the chance of getting caught.
Follow along next week on Jenna Jaxon’s blog at blog: https://jennajaxon.wordpress.com/ , and leave a comment for a chance to win an ebook of A KING’S ENEMIES.
What her novel is about –
Tormented by King Edward’s brutality against Scottish sympathizers, Drake Fletcher vows revenge, but only a madman single-handedly attacks the Crown. Instead, he enters the royal court as a spy to aid Robert the Bruce’s rise to power and place a formidable leader on Scotland’s throne.
Scottish lass Katherine Mackenzie Armstrong targets three of King Edward’s officers who brutally raped and murdered her mother. Disguised as one of Queen Margaret’s attendants, she sets a course to destroy the men.
The acts of treason both Drake and Katherine commit are punishable by death in The Tower of London but their determination pushes dangerous limits. Considered enemies, they use each other to gain vital information. Neither expect their overwhelming attraction to one another, the staggering emotions stirred. But the closer they become, the more they jeopardize their pledges of vengeance.
Will the weight of retaliation crush them, see them beheaded? Or will Katherine and Drake form an alliance and learn to live and love again?

“What do you want from me?”
Perhaps it was ridiculous, Ryen thought. Men never seemed to have a problem with taking what, or who, they wanted. Maybe I’m making it more complicated than it should be. He is my prisoner.
She raised a hand to touch his thick mane. Bryce pulled back instantly. Ryen wrapped her fingers tightly in his hair, leaning into his strong chest. “You fear my touch?” she wondered in a soft whisper.
“Loathe is more like it,” he said.
She could feel the lie through his leggings and smiled. “Your body betrays you.”
“Step away from me, witch,” he snarled.
Ryen stood on the tips of her toes and pressed her lips against his. At first they were immovable, but suddenly they parted and the hot passion he was trying to hide was released. His tongue slipped into her mouth, warring with hers.
