Welcome to our tenth week of our first encounter Medieval Monday theme. Are you still commenting on our blogs to be in the running for our giveaway? Let’s hope so. I’m happy to welcome Ceci Giltenan and her snippet from Highland Redemption. Happy reading and don’t forget to leave her a comment!
Excerpt:
Tomas remembered Father James. He was exceedingly kind and Lady Katherine had adored him. Tomas had known he must have surely passed away by now, but his heart ached a little anyway. Almost without thinking, he made the sign of the cross and said a silent prayer for his soul.
Vida had a slightly bemused look on her face. “That was kind of you.”
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Saying a prayer for the soul of a stranger. It was kind.”
A stranger. Right. Tomas had to be more careful. “I…uh…I have known priests who were dear to me. And I suppose it never hurts to pray for the soul of a priest.”
“Nay, I don’t suppose it does. But it was kind of you anyway.”
Blurb:
Tomas’s life changed forever when at the age of seven he was adopted by Laird and Lady Maclan ending the abuse he’d suffered at Ambrose Ruthven’s hand. He’d never looked back and never intended to
But fate had other plans…
Now, nineteen years later, he runs headlong into his past. The Ruthvens are in trouble and Tomas is in a position to help them. But can he set aside his hatred for Laird Ruthven for the good of the clan into which he was born?
Fate always adds a twist…
Laird Ruthven’s daughter is not what Tomas expected. Vida Ruthven is sweet, smart, and utterly irresistible.
Now, Tomas must choose between being the savior or taking the ultimate revenge.

Just from the small snippet, I get the impression that Tomas is a good man.
He is. 🙂
Poor Tomas! This would be difficult to have gone through. But I Know he will persevere and come through! Really would live to read! Thank you Sherry and Gigi!
He is definitely in an odd spot.
I guess Laird Ruthven wasn’t very involved in raising his daughter (fortunately). How do you pronounce laird, anyway?
The funny thing is, Laird Ruthven WAS involved in raising his daughter. Having his own child changed him.
Laird is pronounce lay-erd. You can hear it pronounced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yweO7jRjL1s
Ruthven is pronounced Rih-vuh-n.
Always good to have a praying man!
I like them that way…so most of my heros are men of faith.
