Here is my first Sweet Saturday excerpt. These are the opening lines of my sweet medieval romance, Loyalty's Web. I hope you enjoy it!
"It is a lie!"
The young lady struck his hand away.
He caught his breath at the transformation anger worked upon her. He had thought her drab but curious a moment ago, decked out in what he imagined must be some squire's cast off clothes. Although her hose-clad legs were nicely turned, the too large, knee-length tunic completely swallowed up any hint of womanly curves. He might well have taken her for a tall, lanky youth, had it not been for her pale gold braid. Even tumbled over her shoulder as it was, its thick, feathery end brushed against her hip.
Now tiny flecks of fire set her silvery eyes ablaze. The way her cheeks glowed, he thought the whole of her might burst into flames. A calm, critical survey confirmed a sad lack of her sister's bewitching charms. But drab this young lady most certainly was not.

Interesting excerpt from the book. I think I'll have to go check it out.
I don't read many romances, but I love the sound of this one. Drab, indeed!

Oh, what wonderful description. Must see more.
"He had thought her drab but curious a moment ago, decked out in what he imagined must be some squire's cast off clothes. Although her hose-clad legs were nicely turned, the too large, knee-length tunic completely swallowed up any hint of womanly curves."
A captive opening, and why is she dressed like this?
I love a good historical. Nice lead into here.
Joyce, it's always a pleasure to read your work. Thanks for the lovely sample.
