In Your Eyes

Worth Fighting For

England, 1192

Songs from my playlist: In your Eyes. Alana has asked John to train her with the sword. He’s a good friend of her brother’s and served three years in the Holy Land on the king’s guard. Alana is determined to win back her freedom from her betrothed, the Duke of Besville, who only wants her for her body and an heir. John, secretly in love with her, wants nothing more than to train her—in something else entirely.    

…Smiling to himself, John looked up to find Alana jogging around the perimeter of the lists, her spun-silk braid trailing behind her. Somehow she managed to look both intent and so utterly guileless that he couldn’t pull his gaze away. There was something about her beyond the way she looked. She exuded passion, strength, and bravery; she was the kind of woman that could burn a man where he stood, and then resurrect him from the ashes of her own fire afterward.

God help him, but he was a moth to her flame…

Repeat after me: I (state name) am so addicted to Darcy that I will sell my firstborn, all of my blood, and my soul to support her blog…

  3. So. One of the first albums I ever got from Columbia House, back in those days. Still love that album, especially Mercy Street and Don’t Give Up, which for some reason always makes me think of Ken Kesey and the Pacific Northwest natives fishing for salmon from their scaffoldings over the falls.

    One of my favorite songs ever! Peter Gabriel can do no wrong. His lyrics always create pictures in my head. Great song choices, Darcy.
