Excerpt from Queen in Exile, a romance fantasy:
The knight looked aghast. “I do not leap at opportunities to kill.”
“You did today!” Jeniah snapped her mouth closed and wiped her tears.
“By the moons,” the knight muttered, looking upward. He raked his fingers through his dark hair, slowly let out his breath, and visibly smothered an angry retort.
Incredible. A warrior with self-control.
“If I caused you grief or placed you in danger, I apologize, my lady.” His stiffly spoken words failed to bring her comfort.
Then his expression softened, became earnest. “Truly, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you or cause undo harm.”
He grasped a crumpled leaf caught in her hair, his hands sliding down a long, dark ringlet before the leaf fell into his hand.
Startled by his familiarity, Jeniah took another step back from the stranger. Even more startling, she did not find the contact distasteful.
