Welcome the fabulous Sherry Ewing!
Welcome to the Bluestocking
Belles Holiday anthology Never Too Late
with 8 wonderful stories from 8 fabulous authors! The stories span 8 centuries
and we start with Sherry Ewing’s return to the Knights Berwyck (I love this
series!!) in a marvelous tale called The Piper’s Lady.
Now you all know how I feel about Sherry’s books. I can’t get enough of them!
I’m so glad to find a Knights of Berwyck story I have read! And away we go with
The Piper’s Lady.
True love binds them. Deceit
divides them. Will they choose love?
divides them. Will they choose love?
Lady Coira Easton spent her youth
traveling with her grandfather. Now well past the age men prefer when they
choose a wife, she has resigned herself to remain a maiden. But everything
changes once she arrives at Berwyck Castle. She cannot resist a dashing knight
who runs to her rescue, but would he give her a second look?

Garrick of Clan MacLaren can hold
his own with the trained Knights of Berwyck, but as the clan’s piper they would
rather he play his instruments to entertain them—or lead them into battle—than
to fight with a sword upon the lists. Only when he sees a lady across the
training field and his heart sings for the first time does he begin to wish to
be something he is not.

Will a simple misunderstanding
between them threaten what they have found in one another or will they at last let
love into their hearts?

And you must read this incredible excerpt of The Piper’s Lady!
I love it!
I love it!
Garrick once more captured the woman in his arms as they fell to
the ground in a heap. In a repeat performance, he rolled to bear the impact
’til she was captured beneath him. Hazel eyes stared at him in wonder, and his heart
lurched in his chest.

“Sir Garrick…” His named passed her lips in a breathy whisper.
“Lady Coira…” he answered, and afore common sense returned to him,
he leaned down and placed his lips upon her own.
he leaned down and placed his lips upon her own.
By God’s Bones, he
must be mad, he
thought even as her arms pressed their way over his shoulders and wrapped
themselves around his neck. His mouth moved over hers gently for he did not
wish to scare her. ’Twas an exploration… a first-time meeting of two souls as
their breaths exchanged with one another. He was lost ’til a low throaty moan
escaped her and brought him back to the reality of what he was doing.

He broke off their kiss and jumped up as though he had been
burned, which was not far from the truth. Bloody
hell! If Coira were in truth Morgan’s lady, the knight would skewer him
alive and see his head placed on a pike outside Berwyck’s gates for taking such
a liberty. He would not think of what Lord Dristan would do to his remains
since the lady was also under his watchful eye.

He began cursing and pacing back and forth ’til he realized he had
left the lady of his musing lying on the hard ground. She had propped herself
up on her elbows and was watching him intently. He came to her and held out his
hand to help her rise. Her fingers slipped into his palm, and he once more
forgot about everything else but the lady he pulled up to stand.

Her knees gave out, and she once more fell into his arms as they
stumbled up against the very oak that began the downfall of his life as he knew
it. Garrick reached out to steady them whilst her back was up against the solid
trunk. He clearly had no sense left in his head whilst he rested his arm above
her head and stared down at the beautiful woman who was beginning to claim his
heart.

“I seem to be alone in the world now,” she answered softly.
