Conquering William
by Sarah Hegger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A practical marriage...
He married for convenience,
but William of Anglesea had hoped for more than piety from his new bride.
Raised in a convent and thrice widowed, prim Lady Alice of Tarnwych seems like
an innocent when it comes to the marriage bed—except for the tentative passion
he senses in her touch, and sees in her eyes. It seems the bold knight has a
new challenge in alluring Alice. But will seducing his intriguing wife lead to
his downfall?
An inconvenient desire...
Everything about charming,
free-spirited William defies the cloistered world Lady Alice comes from. Duty
brings her to their bed—and a long-held hope for a child. Yet after three indifferent
husbands, the desire William shows her awakens her own. Little did Alice expect
the powerful feelings he would inspire, emotions that make her ready to abandon
her rigid beliefs, and the only family she’s ever known—when William’s life is
on the line...

EXCERPT ONE:
Thank God, the fire had taken the worst of the
chill. Alice had left plenty of space on the other side of the bed, and he
climbed up beside her.
A soft noise escaped her, and she went even more
rigid.
Dear God, give him patience. Even his large conceit
felt dented. He lay on his side, propping his head on his hand. She had a neat
profile with a slight upward tilt at the end of her nose. Pale, thick lashes
fluttered as she stared upwards. Not a pretty face, but her pleasant features
bore a faerie- like charm. A gleaming, thick braid lay against the white
pillow.
William took the braid between his thumb and
forefinger. Glorious, rich copper and the weight of the braid in his hand told
him of its length and thickness. The ends curled around the tie holding it confined.
“Your hair is red.”
“Aye.” The delicate line of her jaw hardened. “And
very lovely, it would seem.”
“Red hair is the devil’s hair,” she said.
The vehemence of her statement startled him.
William knew many women who would lay down theirlives for such beauty. “I beg
your pardon.” She growled and, finally, looked at him. The anger on her face
left him wrong footed. “Red hair is the mark of a foul temper. Foul temper is
the playground of the devil.”
God’s Bones, who had he married? So meek and silent
beside him at dinner, cold as death lying in wait for him in their bed, and now
glaring at him as if he were a hound of hell. “I think it is beautiful.”
She rolled her eyes on a huff. “My lord, there is
no need for pretty words betwixt us. I am neither beautiful nor charming, but I
am your wife. As such, we will lie together for the purpose of begetting a
child. Can we please get to that part?”

AUTHOR BIO:
Born British and raised in South Africa, Sarah
Hegger suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her match? A Canadian
engineer, whose marriage proposal she accepted six short weeks after they first
met. Together they’ve made homes in seven different cities across three
different continents (and back again once or twice). If only it made her
multilingual, but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic English, fluent
Afrikaans, conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse Zulu and enough
French to get herself into trouble. Mimicking her globetrotting adventures,
Sarah’s career path began as a gainfully employed actress, drifted into public
relations, settled a moment in advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile
soil of her first love, writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother. She
currently lives in Colorado with her teenage daughters, two Golden Retrievers
and aforementioned husband. Part footloose buccaneer, part quixotic observer of
life, Sarah’s restless heart is most content when reading or writing books.
