FEBRUARY, 2018 BOLD IN HONOR By: Alexa Aston The Plot: During the Peasants‟ Rebellion, Sir An- cel de Montfort rescues Lady Margery Ormond in the midst of battle. Return- ing Margery to her home at Highfield, the king decides to give Ancel both Highfield and its accompanying title in reward for his courageous service since Highfield‟s baron was murdered in the uprising. More importantly, Margery is to be Ancel‟s bride. But Margery‟s stepbrother escaped the peasants‟ onslaught and arrives unex- pectedly to claim his inheritance—and control of Margery‟s fate. Will Ancel find a way to wed the woman he loves, despite Vivers‟ plan to sell Margery to the highest bidder? An Excerpt “I have thought of nothing else but kissing you,” Ancel re- vealed, and then covered Margery‟s mouth with his. He began slowly, not wanting to frighten her, knowing she was inexperienced. He kissed her lips. Her temples. Her brow. Her eyelids. Slowly, he ventured back to her mouth and let the tip of his tongue outline her lips before it ran along the seam. She opened to him and he leisurely explored, enjoying her taste, her scent, the feel of her in his arms. Tentatively, her tongue touched his. He sighed his pleasure and Margery grew bolder. Soon, she matched him as their tongues warred with one another, mating. His ran along the roof of her mouth and she shuddered, a moan escaping from her. Then darkness surrounded them, the oil in the lamp ex- hausted. Her fingers tightened on his shoulders. “I‟m here,” he told her. “I won‟t leave you. I‟ll never leave you.” ***** Review by Lampshade Reader Aleen: “I knew I had to gird up my loins to read this story because I know that every Alexa Aston book will break my heart at one point and then reattach the pieces in the most surprising way.” Available in Print and E-Book At: Amazon Author Contact Info: Prices: Print: $12.76 E-Book: $2.99 Length: 220 Pages Heat Level: R Website Facebook Twitter Amazon Author Page Biography: Alexa Aston‟s historical romances use history as a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circum- stances, where their intense desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love.
