Robbing the Races Release and Giveaway!

Posted on July 6, 2023July 6, 2023 by deniselbarela

 

Robin paced around, out of sight in case the bouncer was still outside the door. Why wasn’t it there? He needed to get back inside. Maybe someone else had taken it. Was there a way to check the other patrons without tipping anyone off? In order to do that, he needed to get back inside. He walked around the building looking for a way he could sneak himself in, but found nothing he could work with.

Deciding to give the roof a try, he scaled the side of the building. He found an opening he could fit himself through and slipped inside. His ankles tingled and the sensation vibrated through his body when his feet fit the floor. He ducked behind a wall when he heard someone walking by.

This was going to be tricky. He needed to be cautious. The money was important, but getting back to Marian was the priority. He couldn’t have her thinking he abandoned her. He found what he assumed were belongings patrons had left behind. If he didn’t want to be recognized and removed again, he would need to change his appearance a little bit. He slipped on a jacket that would hopefully help him lay low.

He maneuvered through people trying to find Marian.

He couldn’t spot her anywhere in the crowd. Where did she go?

Perfect. He didn’t think things could get any worse, but apparently he was wrong.

He’d lost Marian, and he’d lost his bag of gold.

What was he going to do now?

About the Book

Book: Robbing the Races

Author: Tabitha Bouldin

Genre: ChristianHistorical Mystery, Fairytale retelling

Release Date: July 4, 2023

The Legend of Locksley might just get Robin and Marian killed.

Robin Locke’s career as a jockey is far more successful than he ever expected. When a groom is found dead in the stables, Robin sets out to right the wrongs of Locksley. Unfortunately, Robin’s rival is dead set on proving him guilty!

Marian Silvers sets out to find a once in a lifetime story that will ensure her career as a reporter withstands the masochistic attitudes of the paper where she works. As she and Robin dig into the groom’s murder, she finds another side to the legend of Locksley…a side he would prefer stay hidden forever.

While the murderer wreaks havoc in their small town, Marian and Robin find that all is not as it seems. And then they become the next targets. They just need to evade the killer long enough to bring him to justice… and perhaps find love along the way.

This 1940s Robin Hood retelling features swapped character roles and a race against the clock
