Looking Back - A Medieval Romance (The Sword of Glastonbury Series Book 12)

Kath has survived hell. She was captured by slavers, her family and friends were brutally murdered, and her village was razed. Everything she loved was lost, including Roger, the man who had filled her heart with unimaginable joy.

After years of recovery her focus in life is to save innocents from a similar fate. She works with a team of soldiers to protect nuns and vulnerable communities. The only thorn in her side is the partner she has been paired with - a long-haired, drunken, hollow shadow of a man. Worst of all, fate has given him the same name as her beloved.

When Kath realizes the rock-bottom soul riding by her side is the remnant of the Roger she adored, she struggles to find the strength to face her past - and to forge a new tomorrow.

Looking Back is book twelve in the Sword of Glastonbury series. Each novel ends in a happily ever after, which then leads into the next book in the series. Each of these full-length romances features its own flavor, atmosphere, and main characters. Each is set in a different part of medieval England and showcases the natural beauty of its region. Looking Back is set in Merseyside, in eastern England.

Looking Back is a clean romance entwined with harsh challenges and second chances, where the road to love is not smooth, similar to Edge of Tomorrow. Its heroine is recovering from a traumatic capture by pirates; the story tells of her healing process. There is no explicit intimacy. The few swears are period-appropriate such as “God’s Teeth” or “God’s Blood.” There is sword-fighting but no explicit violence. As such, it is suitable for teens and up.
