He’d ordered the maid to clean the chamber and pack everything. The maid and his valet, Burton, who met him as he left the room, did their best to console him in this dark hour. William thanked them for their efforts. Fully clothed, he lay down and closed his eyes, grateful for such a caring staff.

She let it go too long. A ladylike fist banging on my upper arm, our usual signal would have sufficed. Instead, she heated my blood with her wildcat gyrations. The writhing, the intimate press of her swollen folds against me. Inspirational. There’d been no cry, no complaint, only a breathy gasp, that sensual moan. The struggle. The force of her fight. The glassy sheen to her eyes, the way they widened, more and more. Ecstasy. I’ve never been so hard. I’d have stopped had I known, then again, perhaps not. A moot point. She’s dead.

About the Author
Chris Karlsen
Chris Karlsen is a retired police detective. She spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. The daughter of a history professor and a voracious reader, she grew up with a love of his and books. An internationally published author, Chris has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa satisfying her need to visit the places she read about. Having spent a great deal of time in England and Turkey, she has used her love of both places as settings for her books. “Heroes Live Forever,” which is her debut book, is set in England as is the sequel, “Journey in Time.” Both are part of her “Knights in Time,” series. Her third book, to be released in late 2011, “Golden Chariot,” is set in Turkey and she is currently working on another set in Turkey, Paris and Cyprus. Published by Books to Go Now, her novels are available in digital, ebook, and Android App. “Heroes Live Forever,” is available in paperback and “Journey in Time,” will be made available in paperback in October, 2011 on her publisher’s site. A Chicago native, Chris has lived in Paris and Los Angeles and now resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and four rescue dogs. A city girl all her life, living in a small village on a bay was a interesting adjustment. She’d never lived anywhere so quiet at night and traffic wasn’t bumper to bumper 24/7. Some of Chris’s favorite authors are: Michael Connolly, John Sandford, Joseph Wambaugh, Stephen Coonts, Bernard Cornwell, Julia Quinn, Julie Anne Long, Deanna Raybourne and Steve Berry.
Knights in Time
Heroes Live Forever, Journey in Time, and Knight Blindness are three romances that take the reader into a world filled with heart-warming heroes and heroines. Theirs are stories where heartbreak and danger is faced with courage. They’re stories of how love is stronger than any challenge. Each mixes history and the modern world where the settings are brought vividly to life.
