Love's Sacrifice (20 page)

‘
Could have fooled me.’

‘
Well, he’s not available. So that’s the end of that story.’

‘
I don’t know what the story is between them, but I got the impression last night that he doesn’t care about her one bit. There wasn’t enough heat between them to keep an egg warm. It was obvious she wanted to claim him as hers, but he only had eyes for you.’

‘
Well…’

The doorbell goes again.

‘
Hang on a minute. Someone’s at the door,’ I say, and walk towards it. I look through the spy hole.

‘
Talk of the devil,’ I say.

‘
What?’

‘
Call you back.’

I look again out of the spy hole. She is dressed to the nines in a white pantsuit, a long cream coat, sunglasses and a fringe sharp enough to skin a goat. I turn to the mirror and look at myself. My hair is a mess, my nightie is torn in half, and I have that slack, just-fucked look. With a grin I open the door.

Disfigured Love

Once unmasked, can beauty love the beast?

My name is Lena Seagull. I should still be in school, hanging out with friends, meeting boys, falling in love—just like you. But on my eighteenth birthday my father sold me. Now, those are yesterday’s dreams.

My home is a remote castle. And the man who owns me? I have never seen him.

Guy Hawk keeps his face hidden under a mask. At first, I knew only fear, but now his voice and touch make me unashamedly want him. Each night, his hired help blindfolds me, and takes me to his room. He whispers that I am beautiful and we have sex. It is wild and exciting, but when I awaken he is always gone. 

He and his castle hold dark secrets that I must unravel, but what he fears most—being unmasked—is my deepest desire.

Will either of us survive the consequences of my desire? 

Disfigured Love will be a full length standalone novel.

To be released - Fall 2014.
