      impossible love—and she sets it in a fascinating new

      world: Tang China, where a warrior princess must fight

      for her family and her country with only a barbarian

      swordsman to help her. Jeannie Lin

      is a fresh new voice in historical romance,

      and BUTTERFLY SWORDS rocks!’

      —Mary Jo Putney,

      New York Times bestselling author

      ‘Swords, warrior princesses, and a barbarian to love!

      BUTTERFLY SWORDS was a delight!’

      —Jade Lee, USA TODAY bestselling author

       ‘Well,’ he breathed. ‘You do honour your bets.’

      Though he no longer touched her, it was as if the kiss hadn’t ended. He was still so close. Ai Li stumbled as she tried to step away and he caught her, a knowing smile playing over his mouth. Her balance was impeccable. She never lost her footing like that. His grip tightened briefly before he let her go. Even that tiny, innocent touch filled her with renewed longing.

      In a daze, she bent to pick up her fallen swords.

      ‘Now that our bargain is settled,’ she began hoarsely, ‘we should be going. You said the next town was hours from here?’

      He collected his sword while a slow grin spread over his face, and her cheeks burned hot as she forced her gaze on the road ahead.

      She had to get home and warn her father. Ai Li had thought of nothing else since her escape—until this blue-eyed barbarian had appeared. It was fortunate they were parting when they reached town.

      When he wasn’t looking she pressed her fingers over her lips, which were still swollen from that first kiss. She was outmatched. Much more outmatched than when they had crossed swords.

      About The Author

      Jeannie Lin grew up fascinated with stories of Western epic fantasy and Eastern martial arts adventures. When her best friend introduced her to romance novels in middle school the stage was set. Jeannie started writing her first romance while working as a high school science teacher in South Central Los Angeles. After four years of trying to break into publishing with an Asian-set historical, her 2009 Golden Heart^®–winning manuscript, BUTTERFLY SWORDS, was sold to Harlequin Mills & Boon.

      As a technical consultant, backpacker, and vacation junkie, she’s travelled all over the United States as well as Europe, South Korea, Japan, China, and Vietnam. She’s now happily settled in St Louis, with her wonderfully supportive husband, and continues to journey to exotic locations in her stories.
