Highland Heat (2010)
Highland Heat
“She turned and swung her closed fist at his head. She aimed for the side of his face, hoping to hit his temple and knock him senseless.
He moved, but not far enough, and her fist collided with his cheek. A dull flesh-on-flesh sound made her flinch, but she forced herself to send her other hand toward his opposite temple. Desperation lent her strength, and this time she hit her target.
“Christ Almighty!”
He staggered and collapsed to his knees while shaking his head. Deirdre grabbed ...the fabric of her clothing and turned toward the thickest part of the forest. She made it only two strides before Coalan hit her. The man lunged at her and tackled her to the ground with his entire body. The rocks scratched her unprotected face, and she cried out as something sliced into her thigh through the soft fabric of her garments.
“Do nae be thinking that whining will sway me thinking now.”
Coalan hauled her up but kept a hard hand on one wrist.MoreLess
