to each other still burns bright. As fate would have it, the four of them end

EXCERPT:
Nearly
spring, 1544
Winter had been quiet. Too quiet.
Shona Fraser ran a finger over the
frost-slickened stone outside of her bedchamber window, the crystals melting in
the wake of her heated fingertip. Below, in the courtyard, the castle was
slowly coming to life. The blacksmith and tanner, the armorer and the fletcher,
all trudging toward their work huts, their footsteps leaving prints on the
frosty ground. Servants stumbled their way toward the castle, their breaths
puffing in clouds. Workers headed toward the fields to tend the thawing earth.
Spring was coming. The days were growing
warmer. No longer was a fur-lined mantle required unless the sun had set.
A misty film covered the ground as the sun
slowly burned off the remnants of frost. Within a few hours the rising sun
would warm the air by twenty degrees or more.
Why, just yesterday, Shona had traipsed
barefoot in her small medicinal herb garden, though not for too long.
“It’s quiet,” her husband Ewan said, coming up
behind her. He pressed his lips to her bare shoulder, his hands sliding over
her hips, settling into place.
Moments like this, tender and comforting, made
her pause and give thanks. A slow smile crept on her lips as she leaned her
head back onto his shoulder. She knew all too well that precious moments such
as this could be shattered like a hammer hitting glass. “Our enemies have been
hibernating just like the animals.”
“Aye. With spring dawning, they will soon
awaken.”
Shona nodded, leaning her head back and
reaching up to dredge her fingers in her husband’s luscious hair. “But maybe we
dinna have to awaken just yet."
