Of Love and Betrayal

BLURB:
Aveline de Bondeville is on the run. Determined to keep out of the
hands of the cruel Raimbaut de Blois she will do whatever it takes to stay
alive. And so when she finds herself in the company of Troy de Gysborne she
must quickly decide if she can trust him. But can she confess to murder knowing
it would mean her certain death?
Troy de Gysborne did the unthinkable; he tore the bonds of
brotherhood and left a path of destruction in his wake. And now Troy must face
those he betrayed, including the father who long ago renounced him. But to
confess to the crime he committed will cost him everything. Including Aveline.
But can he remain silent if it means losing the woman he loves?

EXCERPT:
Aveline’s scream burned her throat;
she tasted blood. Eudes staggered forward, his eyes wide. He looked at her as
he fell to his knees and then slumped forward. Bright red blood rushed from his
wound and pooled on the ground. She looked at Raimbaut.
“This time you shall not escape.”
She picked up her skirts and ran
headlong into the forest and did not slow her speed as branches slapped her in
the face and tore at her arms. The ground beneath her feet was icy and uneven.
She risked a glance over her shoulder and did not stop even though Raimbaut was
nowhere to be seen. He may not have been behind her, but it did not mean he was
not stalking her.
Sweat trickled down her face and
burned her eyes. Her heart pumped, her lungs gasped for air. She came to a
skidding stop and looked wildly around. Should she keep running straight, go
left or right, or make her way back to Gysborne? She turned in a circle and
shoved her hair from her eyes.
A twig snapped behind her. She
stilled and held her breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a blur rush
by. Was it an animal? Was it Raimbaut?
She ignored the pain in her chest
and her sudden need to loosen her bladder. But she could not ignore her
trembling. She clutched her arms to her chest. A sour taste flooded her mouth
as she did not see how she would be lucky enough a second time to escape from
Raimbaut.

hoisting herself over twelve foot walls!
