Excerpt from 'Dawn’s Untrodden Green' by Carolyn Miller

Happy Monday Bookworms!

I hope that everyone had a happy and blessed Easter weekend! Mine was more on the low key side since I have teenage boys who don't do egg hunts anymore, but there was lots of rejoicing and the perfect peace that surpasses all understanding that stayed me with me the entire weekend. No matter how many times I hear the story of what Jesus did for me it will never get old and it helps to remind me of just how truly blessed I am, even if I am going through a rough time.

Today I am taking a reviewing break and instead showcasing a beautiful story that is perfect for all of you historical fiction lovers out there. So sit back and enjoy a nice excerpt from Dawn's Untrodden Green and keep scrolling for a wonderful giveaway from JustRead Tours!

About the Book

Author: Carolyn Miller
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: April 11, 2023
Genre: Christian Historical Romance

"Highly entertaining, refreshing, and witty. . . . [A] beautifully written, delightful, and faith-filled romance of two endearing hearts."

--Grace Hitchcock, award-winning author of My Dear Miss Dupré

Not much happens in Theodosia Stapleton's tiny Northumberland village. Certainly not to her. She has resigned herself to spinsterhood, caring for her ailing mother in the home of her grandfather, known to the locals as "General Contrary." When her dear friend dies and leaves behind a daughter, it's simple enough to take the child into her own quiet world. That is, until her ward's famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo's tidy orbit completely off-kilter.

Fame was the last thing Daniel Balfour sought when he fought in the Peninsular War. But his brave exploits caught the attention of the King, and now the honors he was given hound him everywhere... even on his rushed trip to rescue his orphaned niece. Theo's quick wit and warm smile reassure him that Rebecca is in good hands, and he finds himself free to swiftly return to London and his responsibilities. But those caring hands are beginning to look like they could also safely hold his heart, and he's tempted to linger. Unfortunately, marriage is simply not in the cards; the army is spouse enough for him.

Then an accident and a scandal lead both Theo and Daniel to discover that their best-laid plans may not have been what God designed for them after all.

Excerpt

“You still wish to leave?”

“I would have preferred to depart by the middle of next week, but it seems the house will delay

me a few days more.” He led the horse behind him as they strolled.

“Leaving you to skulk through the bushes, praying not to be seen?”

“You have the right of it, ma’am.”

A chuckle escaped.

“What is it now? I should not have thought this was a laughing matter.”

“Forgive me. But I continue to be amused that a hero should find himself in such a

predicament.”

“You would not be so amused if you were the one facing all manners of invitations.”

“It must be so hard.” She paused at the turn that signaled Mannering’s drive.

“I was right,” he said. “You are a minx.”

She gave another choke of laughter.

“Do you do that often?”

“Do what often?”

“Make that most delightful sound.”
