Please welcome Jennifer Ivy Walker and her latest release, steamy historical romantic suspense, The Witch of the Breton Woods.
Blurb
Traumatized by
horrors witnessed during the Nazi invasion of France, a young woman retreats to
the dense Breton woods where she becomes a member of the clandestine French
Resistance. When she finds a critically injured American paratrooper whose
plane was shot down, she shelters the wounded soldier in her secluded cottage,
determined to heal him despite the enormous risk.
Ostracized by
villagers who have labeled her a witch, she is betrayed by an informant who
reports to the Butcher—the monstrous leader of the local paramilitary
organization that collaborates with the Germans. As the enemy closes in, she
must elude the Gestapo while helping the Resistance reunite the American with
his regiment and join the Allied Forces in the Battle of Brittany.
Can true love triumph against all odds under the oppressive Third Reich?
Excerpt: The
Wounded Soldier
Low, agonized moaning
interrupted Yvette’s nightmarish reverie.
That’s a man’s
voice. And it’s coming from over there. She followed the deep groans through a copse of trees to find an
American soldier impossibly tangled in a nylon parachute. Suspended from a high
branch of a massive oak tree, he was dangling upside down, hanging by an
obviously broken leg. A sharp bone protruded from the torn, blood-soaked pants
of his khaki uniform, and dried blood—which must have leaked from under his
helmet—covered half of his contorted face. His pitiful wails pierced her heart.
I can’t lower him
to the ground by myself. He’s twice my weight. And if I cut the ropes, he’ll
plummet headfirst. He already has a head injury, judging from the gore all over
his forehead. Please, God, let him hang on until I get back.
“I’ll go get help. I
promise to come back soon.” She called up to him, hopeful that he could hear
her. And that he understood French.
