Welcome back to the penultimate Medieval Monday of 2018 and our Family theme. I’m delighted to welcome Ashley York back to the blog. Her excerpt is from

Daughter of the king – book three in The Derbfine Series

As if reading her mind, he said, “Ye enjoy yer uncle’s tales more than the other lasses.”

Her defenses went up and she straightened her back. “I am more capable than the other lasses.”

“Ah, so ye have said.”

“I could…I could easily be one of those riding along with him.” She watched him closely. “If I were a man.”

“If ye were a man.”

Darragh’s expression was intense, as if he were looking right into her soul.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this blog hop. Next week Ashley is going to be back on her blog but if you missed commenting on any of the excerpts, go back and do so now. They start on Mary Morgan’s blog.

I’ll be back here next week with the final excerpt from A Wager for the Widow. You can catch today’s excerpt on Ashley’s blog today.

A mistaken identity. A gruesome murder. The uniting of two powerful clans.

Trained as a warrior…

Brighit of Clonascra is the only daughter of the fearsome overking, Sean, but despises the trappings and demands of womanhood. She’s far more comfortable training for battle than preparing a meal. Long held alliances require she set aside selfish dreams and take Darragh as her husband. The union intended to promote peace between the clans is interrupted by the shocking murder of a neighboring king and she quickly discovers there are far worse things than being wed.

Trained to be king…

Darragh of Drogheda has no wish to follow in the path of his father, Tadhg, but he is an obedient son and supports his father’s plans. His marriage to Brighit, however, will be no hardship at all since he finds her most intriguing especially when she fights him at every turn. A she-warrior indeed. Her persistent dismissal of him merely blows the fire aflame and sets him down the path to discovery of all her most tightly held secrets.

When she stands accused of the murder, can they finally come to an agreement that will give them each what they truly desire?

Elisabeth’s writing career began when she entered her first novel into Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest in 2013 and finished in third place. She was offered a two-book contract and hasn’t looked back. Since then she has published six Medieval romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon and doesn’t have any plans to stop! Elisabeth works as a Primary teacher but she’d rather be writing full time because unlike five year olds, her characters generally do what she tells them. When she isn’t writing, she spends most of her spare time reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book. She loves historical fiction and has a fondness for dark haired, bearded heroes. Elisabeth enjoys skiing, singing, and exploring tourist attractions with her family. Her children are resigned to spending their weekends visiting the past. She loves hot and sour soup and ginger mojitos - but not at the same time! She lives in Cheshire with her husband, two children and two cats with ridiculous names because the car broke down there in 1999 and she never left.
