I have read so many wonderful things about Pepper Winters' Tears of Tess. So I am thrilled to share with y'all that Tears of Tess is *ON SALE* for a limited time.
Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters
Genre: New Adult Dark Romance
Release Date: August 28, 2013
Synopsis
“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect. Then it all changed. I was sold.”
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic
trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?

**Excerpt**
This was it. My new beginning. My new ending. I didn’t know what
beheld my fate, but I sucked in a breath and stepped over the threshold. “Bon soir, esclave.” My eyes soared up to the first landing of a giant blue velvet staircase. Massive works of art hung like armament on gold gilded walls. A man in a grey chequered suit, with black shirt, silver tie, and slicked back hair watched me from the landing. His gaze unclothedme, terrified me. I stepped back, bumping against guard who didn’t let me go any further. He bent his head and whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my neck. “Say hello to your new master.”

Pepper Winters wears many roles. Some of them include writer, reader, sometimes wife. She loves dark, taboo stories that twist with your head. The more tortured the hero, the better, and she constantly thinks up ways to break and fix her characters. Oh, and sex… her books have sex. ;) She loves to travel and has an amazing, fabulous hubby who puts up with her love affair with her book boyfriends. Her debut book Tears of Tess will be followed with Quintessentially Q. You didn’t think Q could stop so soon, did you? Her other two titles, Last Shadow and Broken Chance will be coming soon.
WOW Brandee! how is it possible that only a blurb can almost bring me to tears? Tess' story sounds both great (up to a certain point) and then so scary I'm not sure if I'll dare to read about it. I think it must be so scary for a woman to be kidnapped and sold, alone and isolated, at the mercy of men who have no consideration for her... Added to my TBR - with a little note to only read when I feel strong!
ReplyDeleteI've missed you! I had a great time in London, though, and I came back home with a new tattoo... ;) *hugs*

Me too, Lexxie! I one-clicked it when I first read about it. I've read a few stories with girls/women being kidnapped and sold/used for sexual slavery. I found those so compelling I knew I'd want to read this one.
DeleteI'm so glad you had a grand time in London! But I'm ever so glad you're back! ;) *hugs*
