My snippet this week is from Quarry, book 2 of The Vampire Guard.

“You fight like a man trained from boyhood because it was expected of him,” Varian said, an obvious ploy to distract Declan. Saber held on the defensive, Varian strode forward in a classic fencing stance.

“French nobility.” Declan held his sword in both hands now as it clashed with Varian’s saber.

“I was a gladiator. I despise patricians.” Varian twisted away, then spun in a circle and came at Declan once more.
​
“And a pirate.” Declan spun and kicked, slamming his foot into Varian with enough force that the man stumbled backward. His fencing instructor might have taught him to fight like a gentleman, but it was pirates who had schooled him in fighting to survive. “I cheat.”
