Snippet of Jack and Tuesday from Lords of Retribution

Lady Tuesday Inwood, and

Jack Drayton, the Earl of Elveston

A snippet from the soon to be released, Lords of Retribution,

Book 3 of the Lords of Avalon series.

 
 

He bent and picked up her coat.  He threw it at her.  “Put the coat on and button it, please, to your neck!” God forbid he should see those lovely breasts which were outlined quite nicely by the men’s linen shirt she wore.
After Tuesday buttoned her coat, Jack tugged at the back flap to make certain her beautiful bottom was covered. It was impossible to hide those beautiful trouser clad legs. How she ever thought she could pass for a lad, he did not know.  
“We’re not going to eat?” Tuesday motioned toward the meal on the table.
“Take a few bites.  I’ll wrap the bread, cheese and fruit in a cloth.  I have a bad feeling, Tuesday.  We need to leave this place.”
Tuesday frowned then nodded. Charlie had the same types of feelings.  He was usually right. She took a couple bites of beef and took a large sip of his pint as he bundled up some of the food.  She coughed.  “Oh my.”
Jack grinned.  “Take another slower sip, brat.”
“Don’t call me brat.” Tuesday did take a longer sip, she was quite parched. 
“I’ll call you what I want, sweeting.”
“Please don’t call me brat.  Charlie called me brat.” Tuesday looked to him with pleading eyes.
Jack nodded and grinned.  “Very well, Trouble.  Are you finished with the pint?”

 
I am in the editing and polishing stage of Lords of Retribution.  I am still hoping to release Lords of Retribution on Amazon Kindle by the end of March.
