ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Lord of Her Heart
Author: Sherrinda Ketchersid
Publisher: Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas
Release Date: May 14, 2019
Genre: Inspirational Historical Romance
He’s fighting for his future—she’s running for her life.
Lady Jocelyn Ashburne suspects something is amiss at her family’s castle because her father ceases to write to her. When she overhears a plot to force her into vows—either to the church or a husband—she disguises herself and flees the convent in desperation to discover the truth.
Malcolm Castillon of Berkham is determined to win the next tournament and be granted a manor of his own. After years of proving his worth on the jousting field, he yearns for a life of peace. Rescuing a scrawny lad who turns out to be a beautiful woman is not what he bargained for. Still, he cannot deny that she stirs his heart like no other, in spite of her conniving ways.
Chaos, deception, and treachery threaten their goals, but both are determined to succeed. Learning to trust each other might be the only way either of them survives.
EXCERPT
(After
Malcolm has rescued a lad (Jocelyn disguised as a boy) from some ruffians.)
Chapter
2, p. 15
Malcolm
laid the lad on the ground near his horse. Blood ran from a cut above the lad’s
eye, and his swollen cheek promised a colorful bruise. Sitting back on his
heels, Malcolm cursed his chivalrous self. What was he to do with this dirty,
bruised pile of skin and bones lying before him?
By the
saints, he had neither the time nor the energy to care for a scrawny boy. He
had a se’ennight before the tournament, and he was not about to miss it on
account of a malodorous halfling. This journey proved one ache in the head
after another.
The boy
stirred, groaning.
Malcolm
gathered water from his supply and poured some into the boy’s mouth. Being
chivalrous was not always convenient, but ’twas an oath he would not shirk.
The lad
vaulted upright, sputtering as he whimpered. “Cease, please!” He rubbed his
face, smearing dirt and blood across pale cheeks. As he looked up at his
rescuer, his blue eyes grew wide.
Malcolm
had to smile. Time spent in the lists honing his swordplay had made his
shoulders broad and his arms well muscled. Boys stood in awe of him, men stood
in fear of him, and women … well, women wanted him. He had long since been
unaffected by the reactions his visage wrought.
