Helpless

He wore jeans and a turquoise T-shirt. The colour made his eyes look blue instead of green. I wasn’t fooled by his looks and his gentle ways. This man had a will of iron, and by the way he looked at me, I could see he was just as determined to control me as Angelo. He just used his tongue instead of his fists.I’d go along with it, because anything that kept me out of the hole meant I had a chance to escape. I’d pretend to be docile, and as soon as he fell asleep or took his eye off me, I’d make a run for it.He looked me over, frowning slightly. Suddenly I wondered if he was changing his mind. Maybe he wasn’t going to let me eat. Maybe it was a game. Maybe he’d show me the food, and then tie me up and leave me to starve while he stuffed his face. I was trembling at the thought. ––––––– Serenity Bishop is a work of art. Her skin a canvas, decorated with the scars of her evil captor’s twisted abuse.

The Degas Girl

“I’m sending you a girl.” “What?” “She needs sorting out. I’m talking Exit Strategy.” Exit Strategy. That’s what we call deprogramming these days. You might call it brainwashing. It’s one of my skills. Give me a man whose idea of heaven is a suicide vest, and I can turn him into a peace loving hippy wannabe. “She’s a white widow?” “No. Human trafficking victim turned sex slave and mule. She’s a mess.” Christ, poor little bint. Now I knew why Suarez was calling me. Colonel Rory "Mac" Mackenzie, covert operations expert, is all set for an undercover job when an old friend lands him with Pepper, a human trafficking victim of a Moroccan-Turkish crime syndicate.

Deliverance

Pandora drew herself up. “Right, let’s get down to brass tacks. I can’t stay, that has to be obvious.” Xavier’s smile slipped and vanished. “Right. I see. Wait a minute.” He went off and came back with two glasses of wine and another Mars bar cut in half. When Pandora eyeballed it derisively, he tucked it into her hand. “Go on. Caramel goes great with wine.” Mindlessly Pandora ate it. She ignored the Chardonnay. She’d had enough for Dutch courage, but she didn’t want to get drunk. “Can’t you see that this isn’t right?” she said carefully. “You can’t just go about kidnapping people.” “You’ve said this already.” “And I’m saying it again,” Pandora snapped. “I made a mistake but I have a life, you know.” He sat down and watched her. “Don’t you like the wine?” “Did you hear what I said?” “Yes. I heard you the other time too.” Pandora thought she could have handled rage or threats better than this calm response. He was exasperating. How could she get through to him? “You’re even more beautiful than I thought,” Xavier murmured. “You have the most wonderful skin. And I love the way your hair curls around your face.” “Xavier, listen to me: I want to go home,” Pandora said tartly. He shrugged. “That’s impossible, Panda.” She could have screamed. “I. Don’t. Want. To. Be. Here,” she enunciated. His eyes flickered. “You’ll change your mind.” “I won’t! I want to go home!” To her surprise, her words sounded like echoes. “Something’s weird,” she whispered. “My voice is all strange in my head.” “I spiked your Mars bar,” Xavier said calmly. *** Framed for treason and abducted, Pandora’s fate lies in the hands of a man who can destroy lives from his laptop. Is Xavier her captor or saviour? In a passionate story of intrigue and espionage, Pandora is about to discover nothing can be assumed about anyone. Even herself.
