Merciless Charity: a Charity Styles Novel (Caribbean Thriller Series book 1)
“She’d slept soundly, curled up in the forward vee-berth. No nightmares. As she lay on the bunk, looking at the heavy timbers in the overhead, her mind drifted back, recalling the familiar surroundings from her childhood.She felt as if this boat could protect her from the recurring dreams, certain that these strong oak ribs and cross members, identical to those she had traced with her hands as a little girl, held some mystical and all-powerful quality that would see no harm come to her.But it wa...s the horrible images that came to her in the night that fueled her. The doctors had deemed her mentally unfit to return to flight duty status after her capture and two days of being raped and tortured. She’d been completely open and forthright with the Army’s shrinks. In retrospect, she probably shouldn’t have been.Reaching a hand out, Charity touched one of the heavy timbers. In her mind’s eye, the hand was that of a ten-year-old girl, tentative and shy. A familiar shape and texture. Nearly everything about this boat—the look, the lines, the way she handled—was both intimately familiar and, at the same time, distantly strange.Rising from the bunk, she went aft to the galley and turned the coffeemaker on.MoreLess
