To celebrate the release of the first in this new series, I am giving away a $20 Amazon Gift card. Scroll down to the end of this post to enter :-) AND THEN MINE ENEMY
A family ripped apart in a country divided by war . . .
England 1642: Hardened mercenary, Adam Coulter returns to England sickened by violence, seeking only peace, but he finds England on the brink of civil war. He has seen first-hand what that will mean for every man, woman and child and wants no part of it. King or Parliament? Neutrality is not an option and Adam can only be true to his conscience, not the dictates of his family. Having escaped a loveless marriage, Perdita Gray has found much needed sanctuary and the love of a good man, but her fragile world begins to crumble as Adam Coulter bursts into her life. This stranger brings not only the reality of war to her doorstep but reignites an old family feud, threatening everything and everyone she holds dear. As the war and family tensions collide around them, Adam and Perdita are torn between old loyalties and a growing attraction that must be resisted. Read an Excerpt...
As the first streaks of light illuminated the cold, grey, colourless morning, the wounded came. The echo of horses’ hooves and the creak of wagon wheels, sent Perdita hurrying downstairs. As she stepped outside, her breath frosted in the cold air and she shivered, thinking of the battle that had been fought the previous day and the wounded men who lay on the hard, frosted ground.
In the forecourt a troop of horse, or what was left of a troop of horse, sat their weary mounts as their commander, a tall man on a bay horse leaned down talking to Ludovic. Even in the grey light she could see from his build that it was not Simon and she slowed her steps. As she approached him, the man raised his head, his fingers going to the brim of his heavy, iron helmet. She stopped, her breath catching. Adam Coulter. She wanted to run to him, satisfy herself that he wasn’t hurt but even in the circumstances, any undue haste could be construed as unseemly. Instead she raised her chin and walked purposefully across to him. ‘Adam Coulter? What brings you here? The answer was obvious and his red-rimmed eyes narrowed. ‘I’ve wounded with me and I can take them no further.’ Perdita moved her gaze to the tired, dispirited faces behind him. Dreading what she might see she turned to the wagons, recoiling momentarily from the stench of blood and worse, and the piteous cries Adam swung himself down from his horse, wincing as he straightened his back. Perdita caught the grimace of pain. ‘Are you hurt?’ He shook his head. Beneath the shadow of the helm’s brim, he looked exhausted, his face unshaven and grimy. ‘Thank you for your concern, Mistress Gray, but no I’m not hurt. Just stiff. My men . . .’ ‘Take the wounded into the barn.’ Perdita addressed an older man with a greying beard who seemed to carry some authority. She turned to Ludovic. ‘See that there is food and drink for the men. I’ll see to the wounded.’ She supervised the unloading of the wagons, indicating the grey stone solidity of the barn, hurrying ahead as the able-bodied men carried their injured companions into the grey stone solidity of the barn. ‘We heard the sounds of the battle. Where was it?’ Perdita threw the question to Adam, as he helped one of the more lightly injured soldiers off his horse. ‘Kineton village. A place they call Edgehill.’ BUY LINKS (click to go straight to the link)

I have a nonfiction book requested at our local library that I hope to pick up before the weekend: Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance

Hi Laurie... Not heard of that one so I looked it up. I don't think we in 2017 can even begin to envisage the depth of poverty in the 1920s and 30s. Should be an interesting read.

Her books are gorgeous! Regency romance with a bit of oomph in them!

I love reading and I am on so many ARC groups that make me s happy and wrapped in books that I read a lot which makes me happy but I do have an addiction for mail order brides and historical romance so those I get more than any and now reading them

I was just talking about mail order brides with a friend the other day - I think it is more an American thing (although not unknown in Australia in past years). So glad you love historical romance - I am tired of people saying that it is 'dead'! Not while there are still readers like you.

Hmmm... a little different to what I write, Denise! But it looks like a fun read.

I am presently reading Getting Wrapped Up by Erin Nicholas. After that is Winter Peril by Victoria Pinder and then A Faery's Kiss by Ariel Marie. I read such a variety that it varies by my mood lol 1/14/2017 10:57:04 am
You sound like me, MIchelle... a book for every mood! All very different.

I am currently reading Shadow Rider by Christine Feehan.
Alison Stuart
1/14/2017 10:58:10 am
I am not a huge fan of 'paranormal' but Christine Feehan is one I will read. She is the original and still (in my opinion) one of the best. Have you read any Keri Arthur? 1/14/2017 04:39:49 am
Glad to add another historical romance author to my TBR list.

Happy to oblige, Brenda. I do hope you enjoy my books.

I am reading Kate Morton's The Lake House, and next I will probably start Truly, Madly, Guilty by Liane Moriarty.

I do like Kate Morton (show me someone who doesn't!). My top read for 2016 was Moriarty's Big Little LIes - it's been a long, long time since I devoured a book from cover to cover. I can't wait to see what the TV series has done with it. 1/14/2017 12:07:45 pm
Just a quick post for the raffle: TBR still includes all four of Stephanie Laurens' new Frobisher quartet, the new Hoyt and James books, and yours, prolly by e-book. The others listed are trade paper. :)

Stephanie Laurens is a perennial favourite! Personally I love Eloisa James. Thanks for dropping past!

That is a new to me author, Lori... off to look her up! 1/22/2017 12:37:23 pm
I'm looking forward to reading Her Mother's Secret by Natasha Lester, which is a 'modern' historical set between the two world wars. I am currently reading and loving an ARC of A Letter from Italy by Pamela Hart, which is set in the same period. Comments are closed.
