Readers – please help me welcome Kate Hill to the blog!

Kate is with us today to share both info about and an excerpt from her historical romance, The Chieftain’s Bride.

Blurb:

 

Marion of Ravenhill was a pawn in a warrior’s world, promised to the Viking raider, Wyborn, for his fierce protection of the British shoreline. She vowed he would never have her heart, but from the moment they meet, the attraction between them is nearly overwhelming.

 

 

Excerpt:

“How could any decent woman like being married to you? Not only are you far too tall, but you’re filthy, violent, self-important, and a heathen.”

“You’re sure you haven’t forgotten any of my attributes?”

“And you’re sarcastic. Another thing–” She stopped mid-sentence, noticing for the first time that some of the blood on his sleeve was running fresh and not merely stains on his armor. “You’ve been hurt?”

He glanced at his arm. “Just a scratch.”

Stepping closer, she inspected the wound. “You could die of infection from a scratch like this. I’m a skilled healer. Take off your shirt.”

“Healer, warrior. Do you have any other secrets I should know about?”

“I imagine you’ll find out.”

Smiling slightly, she left the chamber to retrieve bandages, a needle, and thread.

While Marion gathered her healing tools, she ordered a servant to bring heated water to Wyborn’s chamber. When she opened the door, she nearly lost her grip on the leather bag she carried. Wyborn sat in one of the chairs by the hearth, his armor arranged on the bed. She thought the bulky chain mail had enhanced his virility, but if possible, he was even more magnificent out of it. His cream-colored cotton shirt clung with sweat and blood to his well muscled body. The throat was open in a v-shape and crossed with unraveled cotton ties, exposing his broad, hard chest. Matted tendrils of ash-blond hair grabbed at his shoulders and brushed his back. Never in her life had she seen such a beautiful man.
