I love a good time travel novel and I like what I have read of Leigh so far and so I jumped on this book. It was tough to read but quickly turned fun, as the main character is not doing well and I hated the prologue they give at the beginning but I had trust this would end well:} It was a adventu...

Her popularity was more important than her kindness and she made some bad choices.Thirteen years later, Reece Thorpe, an ex-boyfriend is hired to recreate a statue for the town. Maggie's t...
Alessandra bemoaned, keenly feeling its absence as she had every day this past fortnight. She was nearly a month at Corburry now and had yet to see a full blue sky or feel the sun’s heat upon skin that was often covered in prickly bumps. At first, it had been an interesting change from the Maghri...
Alessandra said, and Lucien nearly smiled when she pointedly lowered her gaze to Nicholas’s hips. Jezebel’s captain, more handsome than his cousin, though of less stature, said, “That you do, my lady.” Yanking up the hem of her skirt, Alessandra stepped from Lucien’s side, paused to catch her bal...
The lighting of it seemed purposeful, as if it was a beacon meant to lead one home—though that certainly could not be the purpose here, which was surely to lead one to one’s death. Still, for nothing would Gaenor pull back or allow herself to be overtaken by the guard she had foiled. Fortunately,...
A fortnight had passed since the knights’ first meeting over swords, and more good had come of it than she had dared hope. Though it could not be said their friendship had revived or ever would, there seemed something of a truce between them—not easy, but not uneasy either. Regardless, it was eno...
Joslyn suppressed a gasp, looked toward the lit candles whence Father Ivo’s voice issued, and met his gaze past the flames. “I thought myself alone.” “One is never alone in the house of the Lord, child.” A shiver stole up her spine. Wishing he would come out from behind the candles, whose flicker...
Worse, on the morrow there would be another, and another after that, and—Cease, Susanna! You make it no better with your pacing and muttering. You have been given time, have you not? Time Judas and you might not have had. Time otherwise filled with fear and riding hard in hopes of reaching the qu...
A kick to her backside did.“Get up,” snapped the one whose boot had roused her.Suppressing sharp words, Annyn sat up. It was not Squire Warren, but that other one, Samuel. Though tall and possessing broad shoulders and muscled arms, he was thinly set, his face and the flaxen hair curved around it...
He had not spoken of it, for she seemed to have no recollection—so far removed from it that she had inquired after the small cut on his jaw. Rather than reveal her ring had put it there, he had shrugged off her question. By early afternoon, they reached the castle of Lord Langdon’s vassal, Sir Ha...
Though it became obvious she was Lady Laura’s daughter, meaning the lady was likely widowed, it was just as obvious that the child was fond of Michael. Hardly had the meal begun than she was on his lap, and though he continued to converse with Sir Canute, he broke bread and cut bites of cheese fo...
The voice speaks over a vision of colorful bouncy balls that plummet from overcast skies and shoot back up after striking the pickled-corn pavement. “Wake up, Piper.” I look around, but the disturbingly familiar voice has no body and the balls continue to shower around me. It strikes me then that...
She knew it without opening her eyes. Would have known even had his body not been curled around hers, his arm encircling her thick waist. The long night of love they had shared could not be easily wiped from her mind. Too, it had only been a few hours since sleep had finally taken her.She looked ...
Thus, when I catch sight of a white-haired, orange-robed figure walking slowly alongside the road, heading in the direction I’m coming from, it takes a moment to react. Then I’m whipping a U-turn and fumbling for my phone as my headlights illuminate his backside and the slight limp that is back d...
Brother Justus said. Rhiannyn walked to the stream that had beckoned hours earlier when they had first begun following it, and lowered to her knees. She dipped her hands in the water and splashed it over her face and neck. Gasping and blinking, she savored the cold trickling over her heated skin,...
