This week, we're pleased to welcome author Gerri Brousseau, whose latest novel TO KILL A MONARCH is set during the Napoleonic period. Join us on Sunday, when the author will offer a free copy of To Kill A Monarch to a lucky blog visitor. Here's the blurb:
Whispers in dark allies
say Napoleon’s best assassin, The Falcon, has been sent to London
to kill the Monarch. The problem – The Falcon’s identity is known
only to the French Emperor. Sir Walter Tinsdale’s new partner,
Philip Hamilton, arrives to discover their mission is to find the
elusive bird of prey before he strikes. But their nemesis is like a
phantom and always one step ahead of them. Enter the lovely Miss
Charlotte Winston, the object of Sir Tinsdale’s affections, as well
as those of Philip Hamilton. Unlikely alliances, deception, murder,
and suicide will keep you turning the pages until the identity of The
Falcon is finally revealed. With all the seduction and action of a
James Bond movie, To Kill a Monarch is like 007 in 1811.
**An Excerpt from To Kill A Monarch**
“Our
dinner is getting cold, Mister Hamilton,” Charlotte whispered as she leaned
against him.
He drew her into his embrace. “To hell with dinner, Charlotte,”
he whispered into his kiss. Lifting her into his arms, he carried her upstairs
to the bedroom they shared.
He set her feet gently upon the floor, but his lips never left
hers. He ran his hand up her back, pressing her to him, molding her body to
his, while his fingers fumbled with the tiny buttons that ran up the back of
her gown.
Her
delicate and nimble fingers had unbuttoned his waistcoat and shirt, and she
rested the palm of her warm hand upon his exposed chest. His breath caught in
his throat at her touch. She drew her lips from his. “Mister Hamilton, allow me
help you out of these damp clothes,” she purred.
