The Blurb
Loss. Passion. Sacrifice.
It's the worst day of Laryssa's life when bandits
snatch her beloved daughter Sofiya, carrying her away to places unknown. Vowing
to save her, come what may, Laryssa sets off on a long and difficult journey to
find the eighteen-year-old.
When she stumbles across a half ruined castle in the
middle of a forest, she realizes she's found the very place where Sofiya is
being held by four men. In desperation, Laryssa begs to be allowed to stay with
them, to cook and clean, and even offers her body for use to the leader of the
gang, a man called Bhodan. Not knowing who she really is, he grudgingly
accepts.
Bhodan is a dark man with a troubled past. With livid
scars marring his otherwise handsome features, he is gruff, ruthless, and cold.
Somehow Laryssa, the woman he has employed to cook and clean for himself and
his men, and to service him sexually whenever he desires it, manages to see
past his harsh exterior. Her growing attraction to him is undeniable, and no
one is more surprised than Bhodan himself to discover that he is beginning to
reciprocate those feelings.
Sofiya is not the only girl to have been captured by
the gang; Hanna, a girl close to her in age, was already being held when Sofiya
arrived. Laryssa is desperate to rescue them both, but knows she must bide her
time until the moment is right.
When the four men decide to leave the women alone to
go thieving, Laryssa sees her chance. However, she is unprepared for the emotional
dilemma she will face when only one of the men – Bhodan – returns. He is badly
wounded, and she finds herself unable to leave him alone, as he will
undoubtedly die.
Torn between the love of her daughter and the passion
Bhodan has awakened in her, Laryssa faces a tough choice. Should she send
Sofiya and Hanna back to their village alone to face their demons, or should
she accompany them and risk losing what could well be her last chance of
experiencing boundless passion and love after years spent alone? Can she
forgive Bhodan for what he has done in the past, or will she decide that her
daughter's happiness is more important than her own?

Excerpt:
"That's right, let me
know how much you are enjoying this. Groan, shout, cry... do whatever you want.
Show me how much you want me!" It was though he was teaching her how to
pleasure her own body, and she wondered why he was doing this.
Laryssa did not know how
to answer his request, other than by increasing the volume of her groans. All
those years ago, with her husband, she had maintained her silence, except for a
few whispered sweet nothings at the end. She wondered if that was because of
her youthful shyness, or because her husband had not lit the flame of passion
as this man was doing. Bhodan had discovered a part of her she had not known
existed until now. She could not describe her feelings in words, but she knew
that her body was alight in ways it had never been before. He took her to new
heights of pleasure until, unable to hold out any longer, she had the most
earth-shattering climax that she had ever known.
Bhodan waited until she
had ceased trembling before moving up the bed and lying on top of her. He
entered her body swiftly, plunging himself deeply within her.
"You have such a
sweet cunt," he panted. "I could stay in here for hours."
He slowed his pace so that
he was entering her in a much more sensuous way, but just as deeply as before,
and Laryssa climaxed yet again, her body shivering and shaking from the heights
of pleasure he had shown her. It took just a few more thrusts before he came
inside her with a great roar.
They both lay in utter
exhaustion for several minutes before he pushed her towards the edge of the
bed.
"I think you had
better go and light that stove, and make me some breakfast. Now that you have
satisfied one hunger in me, you'd better satisfy the other. I could eat a
horse. But best not take that literally."
Humor, she thought. He
does have a sense of humor after all.
Author Bio
I
write erotic romances as Juliette Banks, but some of you may also know me as
the author Rachel de Vine. I am British and live in a beautiful rural part of
England. However, I also like travelling to remote and unusual parts of the
world, and have visited places as diverse as Tibet, Bhutan, Peru, Namibia and
China. Our world is so beautiful and I hope that it will always remain so, and
I see myself as being so lucky to have the freedom to travel that was denied
many previous generations. I hope I never take it for granted.
I
write mainly romances, because I am an incurable romantic, and I write erotic
romances because I am always attracted to the sexuality and sensuality that is
within so many of us. I like to write about interesting characters who often
have to survive life's challenges before they can reach the happy ending they
deserve.
