Book Excerpt:
A
grin formed on his lips. “She belongs to me now,” he said, his voice was as
cool as his expression. “And when Cornell comes for her, I’ll be waiting to
return the favor… only I’ll succeed, where he did not.”
Sarafina’s fingers curled around her goblet.
“What makes you think he’ll come for her?”
“He has several reasons to take the bait.
Cornell will demand satisfaction for his humiliation.”
“His humiliation?” She sat up straighter.
“What about hers? Do you understand what people will think when they find out
she was held hostage here? If her intended is murdered and she’s left stranded,
this will leave her utterly alone. What will become of her, then?”
“She’ll marry someone better than the likes
of Cornell, I hope,” he replied dryly.
She slammed her goblet down and flew to her
feet. “And who would want her?”
He remained seated. “I’m doing her a great
service,” he said calmly, leaning on the arm of his chair. “You have no idea
the kind of life she would’ve been subjected to.”
“So, you're her savior now?”
The captain pushed off his chair, and
straightened to his full height. She kept her glare locked with his, but
keeping it steady was becoming as difficult as her breathing. “Maybe,” he said.
“That’s an absurd notion,” she replied.
“Is it?” he asked. He stepped towards her,
and she stepped back in unison, until the back of her legs hit the chair.
About
the Author
Avery Sterling's love for the romance genre began in her
teen years when she picked up her first novel. She was captivated by the
sweeping scale of emotions brought about by the words. The experience
catapulted her towards learning the art of wielding a breathtaking adventure,
with a love that felt authentic. Wanting to inspire people with her own
thoughts and words, she finished her first novel at sixteen. It was a step
towards understanding the essence of what she wished to create.
Most
of her youth was spent traveling, searching out the romance and beauty in her
everchanging world. From the waves that crashed against the rocky shores of
Downeast, Maine, to the warm breezes of the Caribbean, she discovered that love
was universal, apparent in its grandest and simplest of forms. Her goal is to
write novels an audience can relate to, one that conveys the truth and nature
of love… with all that steamy romance.
