Day 2
12 Days of Christmas Book Blitz Event!
Book Blurb:
When Burthred comes courting on Christmas Eve, Meg rejects
his advances. She has her heart set on becoming a nun and insists that he call
her Christina, the spiritual name she has chosen for herself. She tries to make
him swear on her box of holy relics that he will not pursue her, but he
carefully words his oath to allow him to stay in her candlelit chamber and try
to change her mind.
What Meg does not confess is that her reliquary box holds a secret.
Burthred needs a wife, and no one will satisfy him except Meg. He swore on his father’s deathbed that he would marry her. But Burthred has a secret, too. When they come together before the Yule fire, their shared revelations will either join their hearts together or tear them apart.

Author Bio
Joyce DiPastena dreamed of green medieval forests while
growing up in the dusty copper mining town of Kearny, Arizona. She filled her
medieval hunger by reading the books of Thomas B. Costain (where she fell in
love with King Henry II of England), and later by attending the University of
Arizona where she graduated with a degree in history, specializing in the
Middle Ages. The university was also where she completed her first full-length
novel...set, of course, in medieval England. Later, her fascination with Henry
II led her to expand her research horizons to the far reaches of his “Angevin
Empire” in France, which became the setting of her first published novel,
Loyalty’s Web (a 2007 Whitney Award Finalist).
When she’s not writing, Joyce loves to read, play the piano,
and spend time with her sister and friends. A highlight of her year is
attending the annual Arizona Renaissance Festival. She lives with her two cats,
Clio and Glinka Rimsky-Korsokov, in Mesa, Arizona.

Snippet:
Burthred watched the
candle’s flame with steady eyes that she could not read. But after a moment, a
little smile played on his lips. “I remember that day when we were betrothed.
You spit on me.”
Meg gasped. “I what?”
“You spit on me.”
She stiffened with
such indignation that the candle wobbled in her grasp. “How dare you! I have
never spit on anyone.”
“Oh, you were only a
baby. After the betrothal ceremony, which I scarcely understood myself, your
mother took you out of the cradle and put you into my arms. I had to sit down,
because I almost dropped you. I remember how she said, ‘Hold her like this,
against your shoulder, and pat her gently on the back so she doesn’t cry.’ And
then you spit all over my new surcote of crimson velvet. It was embroidered
with my mother’s perfect stitches, too.”
