SING ME HOME
By Lisa Ann Verge

SUMMARY:
Blessed with an
angel’s voice, Maura of Killeigh escapes from a convent determined to join a
band of traveling players. They’ll be her protection on the roads while
she searches for the parents who abandoned her at birth. But once
face-to-face with the seductive, sinfully handsome vagabond who rules the
troupe, Maura wonders if she wouldn’t be safer traveling alone.
Killeigh,
Ireland
The Year of Our Lord 1307
When Maura finally found
the man she was looking for, he was stretched across a woman’s lap, his fingers
lost in her cleavage.
She stumbled to a full
stop outside the campsite, still hidden in the trees, and tightened her grip on
the basket slung across her shoulder. She felt as if she’d just come upon the
sort of scene painted in the pages of the Abbess’s Bible, full of wild-eyed
demons and half-dressed women and long-tongued satyrs dancing around a woodland
fire.
Stop.
She took a breath so
deep that her surcoat tightened across her breasts. Certainly the great wide
world and all the people in it couldn’t be as dangerous or wicked as the Abbess
always insisted. In any case, it was too late to turn back. She hadn’t
escaped the convent only to lose courage now....
