His Captive (2011)
“A tremor shot through her body. She stepped back.
An inebriated cur grabbed her arm.
Nichola screamed, turned, and lunged toward the scarred door only paces away.
A calloused hand snagged her other arm. “Where do ye think you are going?” A nasty grin curved the foul stranger’s lips, giving her the full effect of yellowed teeth.
She shot him her iciest glare. “Release me!”
His ribald laughter escalated her fear.
She twisted to break free and failed. She should have known that she could never sli...p through these dangerous men without notice. But with Alexander’s kiss still tingling on her lips, and the shame of her own reaction, all she had been able to think about was escape.

The stranger hauled her against him and tipped precariously with her in his arms. “She is feisty!” he slurred to the crowd.MoreLess
