Earlier this month (September!), we shared the first set of snippets from the novel. Remember, each post has a teaser tag and a buy link (similar to the first one shared here).
Here's the second set for your EnJoYMenT! (Oh, repeating Sept. 7--because I like it!)
Sept. 7
“Sheldrake! That sounds as if you believe you are a monstrous
beast in the forest, devouring whoever nears your lair.”
“You don’t find me a beast in the forest?”

Sept. 8
“You must keep all remaining secrets closer than a hand of
cards,” Vivienne warned. “Miss Beale is an authoress. We mere mortals are
fodder for her pen.”
Sept. 9
She touched the shadowy figure in the window. The oil dabbed
to paint the image had rough lines. “The artist didn’t depict the windows
accurately. See these mullions. They are bars, like prison bars. See, the
windows have no crosspieces, and all the house windows have three.”
“The man standing in the trees, he’s as much a ghost as the
imprisoned woman. But he’s free.”
“And watching the house. Watching her. A lover? Someone who
wants to free her?”
“Ride back as if the hounds of Hell are after you, Greggs.”
Sept. 11
The candle guttered. She quickly shielded it.
“Vivienne,” came the whisper.
She shuddered, realizing that someone was in these passages
with her. With only a narrow board between her and a steep drop onto twisting
stairs.
Sept. 12
He called himself aloof … but he was hiding from life.
Only now, with his third wife, threatened, did he understand.
Sept. 13
“Max!”
“Do you know? I prefer Max to Sheldrake.”
“It’s not proper,” she choked.
“But it is now you think of me. Of me, not the title.”
Sept. 14
“You say that so easily. Find another way to kill me. I do
not like that it sounds so easy.”

Dreams of
knights gallant are all very well, Vivienne thought hazily, but a man who
stops nightmares is a greater hero. |
