EXCERPT from Chapter Three:

... Gregor pushed his half-full cup across the table and waved the owner of this establishment away when the man thought to bring him more ale. His earlier idea of drinking until he could stand no more had quickly evaporated at the thought of riding with an aching head.

There were only a couple of men left in the inn besides him and he kept them at bay with a hard scowl. The last thing he wanted was company of any sort. He’d taken a seat at the far table to be away from those still gathered so he could reason out what to do.

Another draught of cool, damp night air raced across him and he turned to look at the newcomer who’d just entered. He groaned. Of course Simon would find him. The man was like a dog on the trail of a hare. A nod in Simon’s direction brought him to his table.

‘This is the last place I expected to find you.’

Gregor glanced up at his captain. ‘The role of nursemaid doesn’t suit you.’

‘I think I would make quite a handy nursemaid.’ Simon took a seat across the table. ‘Especially for charges who think to slip away unnoticed.’

‘If this is the last place you thought to find me, why are you here?’ Gregor motioned the owner to pour another cup of ale that Simon retrieved, then brought back to the table.

‘Because it was the only place we hadn’t looked.’

‘We?’

Simon took a long drink of the ale, before explaining, ‘I have two of the men out scouring the countryside for word of their lord.’

‘Ah, well, here I am, safe and sound. You can gather the others and go back to camp now.’

‘Safe and sound for now, perhaps. But I hear tell from the three battered men who passed through our camp earlier, you are breathing your last.’

Gregor snorted. ‘You believed them?’

‘No, but I couldn’t wait to hear this tale so I came looking for you.’

That made more sense since Simon, like the rest of his guard, loved nothing more than a good tale. Especially one they could embellish and then share with others. Gregor’s reputation was partly owed to their retelling of tales. A fact he’d discovered too late to do anything about.

‘There isn’t much to tell. I rescued the woman those three men had thought to abuse.’

Simon’s eyebrows rose. ‘Do tell.’

‘I just did.’

His man looked around the inn. ‘Where is she?’

‘Above, in a chamber.’

‘And you are down here?’ Simon leaned forward, to ask in a near whisper, ‘Did you let the Wolf frighten her so quickly?’

‘Quite the opposite. The maiden above is Beatrice of Warehaven.’

Simon’s cup hit the table. It teetered, then fell, letting the remaining contents spill across the wooden plank. ‘You are jesting.’

Gregor waited until the owner finished cleaning up the mess Simon had made. Once he replaced his man’s drink with another and left, Gregor said, ‘I wish I were.’

‘Which Warehaven lass would this be?’

‘The young, as yet unmarried one.’

‘Dear Lord above. How did this happen?’ Before Gregor could respond, Simon raised his hand. ‘Never mind. Only you could have such ill-fated luck.’

Not able to disagree with the obvious, Gregor shrugged. ‘I know. Sometimes it is truly amazing.’

REVIEWS:

The Warehaven series continues with another sensual, action packed tale between a damsel in distress and the hero she ultimately saves. A defiant heroine and a determined hero clash over politics, but love finds a way to tame these two lonely hearts.

Gregor Roul is known as King David's wolf, a heartless warrior without the capacity to feel or care, but Beatrice of Warehaven knows different. Gregor saved her from a lecherous suitor without knowing who she was. Their attraction is mutual, but he has a secret mission. Gregor has come to take over Warehaven, kill her father and take her for a wife. But Beatrice will defy him to protect her family and help him become the warrior she has come to love.
