DANGEROUS FAVOR ~ by Joyce DiPastena


DANGEROUS FAVOR  by Joyce DiPastena, the Queen of sweet medieval romance!

Mathilde needs a champion.  Her father has been accused of stealing from the king, an allegation that has reduced her family to poverty. She has one chance to find and marry a man who can help her prove her father's innocence. Lord Therri, heir to a rich barony, has the wealth and connections Mathilde needs to delve into the mysteries of her father's past. Furthermore, Therri embodies all her romantic dreams.

Etinne, the younger son of a disgraced family, has neither wealth nor connections, but is smitten with Mathilde at a glance. She finds the knight intriguing, but believes he is only out to seduce her. While she seeks for a way to win Therri's attention, Etienne tricks her into granting him her favor --an embroidered white ribbon--for a tournament, setting in motion a dangerous chain reaction of events. Can Etienne save Mathilde from a nightmare from her past and prove himself the true hero of her dreams?

Writers Mirror gives DANGEROUS FAVOR 10 stars! 

Joyce graduated from Arizona State University with a degree specializing in medieval history. She writes as if she were living amongst her characters and will transport readers there with her.

Joyce loves cats. One of her little purr-babies is named Glinka Rimsky-Korsakov. There must be quite a story in that.



If you have read Joyce DiPastena's LOYALTY'S WEB and ILLUMINATIONS OF THE HEART, you know you are in for a great read.  Joyce is a master of medieval history, and weaves a delectable sweet romance around a world of intrigue.

(Note; if you haven't read Joyce's other two books, get all three and have a lovely summer spent in medieval times around knights, knaves, castles, beautiful maidens, jewels, crowns and passionate yet clean love stories.)

  2. Thanks for this spotlight, Cindy! I'm working on something, but I'm not sure it's Book 4. Maybe more like Book 3.5. ;-)
