WARRIOR, SYNOPSIS
When Nicholas Herron, Duke of Berwick and his best friend, Rolf
Torgesson, two of King Edward III’s most powerful and respected knights, discover
a badly beaten young woman hiding in the forest, they swear to protect
her. By the time they learn that she is
Lady Kathryn Weston, and that her attacker is none other than her betrothed,
Robert Walford, the powerful and ruthless Duke of Pemberton, it is too
late. They have both fallen in love with
her and she with them—a love so forbidden it could cost them everything, even
their lives.
Bent on revenge, Walford uses his power as Chief Magistrate of the Crown
to issue two arrest warrants, one charging Kathryn with attempted murder, the
other charging Nicholas with high treason.
For years he has been abusing the authority of his office by bringing
false charges of treason against loyal knights and confiscating their wealth to
finance his scheme to overthrow Edward and seize the throne of England. Getting
his hands on Nicholas’s vast fortune would finally allow him to accomplish his
goal.
Traveling to Berwick to serve the warrants in person, Walford’s triumph
is short-lived when Nicholas publicly humiliates him and sends him
packing. Incensed, Pemberton hastily
assembles an army to lay siege to Berwick castle, vowing to take it apart stone
by stone. But Nicholas has anticipated just such a move and he has taken countermeasures
to assure the safety of everyone at Berwick—especially Kathryn and their unborn
child.
But Walford does something no one expects. He sneaks into Berwick castle and seizes
Kathryn and all of a sudden certain victory becomes a desperate race for Rolf
and Nicholas to save their home and rescue the woman they love.
Set amidst the turmoil and pageantry of 14th-century England,
Dark Warrior weaves a vivid tapestry of three lost souls who find each other
and a deep, abiding love that could ultimately destroy them all.

EXCERPT
For a
long moment they remained where they were, bodies straining to wrest every last
bit of pleasure from their climaxes. Then, with a groan, both men pulled out of
her. She whimpered. Her legs dropped bonelessly to the mattress as Rolf moved
to stretch his long, lanky body out alongside hers. Nicholas, still kneeling
beside her head, deftly untied the silken scarf, removing it from over her
eyes.
She
opened her eyes to find him staring down at her. The love she saw there swept
the breath from her lungs in a wheezing gasp. Her breath shuddered through her
in short, panting sobs.
Nicholas
smiled. “That was beautiful, beloved,” he whispered, wiping the tears off her
cheeks with his stroking thumb. “You
are beautiful.” He stretched out down the length of her body, putting his arms
around her and turning her to face him. Rolf aligned himself along her
backside.
She
angled her head back over her shoulder to meet Rolf’s lips in a soul-jarring
kiss. His eyes were the color of the deepest ocean and she was drowning in
them.
“I love
thee, yndling,” he said in a barely
-audible whisper. “Jeg elske dig.”
His right arm curved over her midriff as he nuzzled his face against her damp
neck, kissing and licking her sweat-salted skin. “Jeg elske dig,”he repeated on a sigh, tightening his arm around
her convulsively.
“I love
you, too. Both of you.” She sighed blissfully, luxuriating in the feel of two
hot male bodies surrounding her, front and back. She had never felt aught like
the bone-deep satisfaction she was feeling now. She had never felt so
cherished. So completely and thoroughly loved.
She had
just given herself to two men. Two men she loved more than anything else in the
whole world. Men she loved more than life itself. And they had just given her
the most mind-shattering pleasure she had ever known. And now they were simply
holding her, kissing her. Loving her. She had thought she would never survive
this. But she had been wrong. Now she knew that she would never survive without this. She needed both of these
men. Without them, she would never be whole.
Bio: Julie has been writing her entire life,
but it wasn’t until November of 2012 that she burst onto the erotic romance
scene with her sizzling hot first novel, Loving
Sarah, followed by its sequel, Owning
Sarah, ten months later. Her third novel, Dark Warrior, set in 14th-century England, is her first
historical romance.
Julie lives in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Now retired after a 25-year dream career,
first as a children’s librarian then a professional storyteller and puppeteer,
she has time to devote to her new love, writing erotic romance, the steamier
the better, thus following the career path blazed by so many before her—from
kiddie lit to erotica.
