Countdown to Heartbreak and Honor Release – Six Weeks!
December 2, 2015
I’ll be posting the blog tours and release giveaways on my website and blog next week, so be sure to pop in and check out the details!
Here’s another excerpt, taking up where I left off last week.
A mouse cornered by a starving lion had a slower heartbeat.
How many minutes passed since the first cry alerted her to the invasion? Five? Fifteen? More? Impossible to tell when terror thickened her blood and scrambled her thoughts.
She’d hung over the window casement in an effort to catch a glimpse of the attackers. Yet, her chamber faced the castle’s rear, and only contented Highland cattle, one lone stag, and a pair of curious pigeons perched on the keep’s ledge returned her frantic perusal.
She dug her fingernails into the door’s coarse timber, afraid to hope, to believe they—she veered a glance to her sleeping sister and brother—might leave this hellhole alive and unharmed.
For their sakes, she must keep her wits about her.
Tasara had despaired of any rescue attempt and feared for their virtue and lives. After almost three weeks of captivity, had their salvation finally arrived?
Only the threat of death had kept her captors from ravishing her after the first night when two hulking, reeking, highlanders pinned her to the floor and attempted to have their way. They lay buried and rotting, their necks brutally broken with one powerful wrench by Angus Blackhall, the war chief.
He wanted her virginity intact, claiming he knew an English gent willing to pay handsomely for an untouched wench.
Surely, the devil inhabited such a monster, for while Angus protected her honor, at every opportunity, he mashed her breasts, mauled her buttocks, and rudely forced his thick tongue in her mouth, his fetid kisses gagging her.
