Shattered
Trust is the first in the Trustworthy Texas Trilogy.
Blurb:
Learning to love is the easy part…
As a young woman,
Kate Landry trusted the wrong man, and she paid dearly for her naiveté. Alone,
pregnant and destitute, she survived by the sheer force of her will. Now
forty-two, Kate has made a good living for herself and her daughter as the
owner of the Bluebird Saloon. But she’s forgotten how to live. That is until he comes into her bar…
Liam St. James
loved a girl once. And only once. After an accident paralyzed her, she didn’t
trust he would continue to love her. Brokenhearted, Liam left and soon discovered
a world where women did trust him—to
be their sexual Dominant. He plays out the scenes masterfully, but the
unexpected request from the stoic bar owner will pose his greatest challenge
yet…
Kate and Liam
embark on a journey to uncover repressed urges and, in the process, they
discover new desires. They also fall in love with one another. But when you’ve
been shattered as badly as they have by mistrust, deceit and abuse, loving is
easy. Trusting is harder, if not impossible, especially when the heart is
involved…
Shattered Trust is a BDSM romance. It
contains explicit language and graphic love scenes, including bondage,
domination, spanking, whipping and multiple partners. It is intended for mature
readers only.
Excerpt:
Kate fortified her backbone and doggedly clung to some
semblance of control. But with Liam, that was a tall order.
She realized she’d been pushing him, goading him by
insisting he work extra shifts then insulting him in front of those girls, all
with the hope he’d just quit.
With a sniff, she presented her back to him. “And what things do you believe need to be settled?” She infused as much coolness as
she could into her tone.
“Oh, lots of things.”
The nearness of his voice whipped her around. He stood
close—very close—to her. So close she could see the dove gray flecks swimming
in his sea-green eyes. She wanted to be strong, to stand up to him, but his
presence gobbled up all the oxygen, and she couldn’t breathe.
She gulped for air and spun away, but his arm rifled out,
cutting off her escape. He stood right behind her, trapping her. The metal edge
of the sink dug into her hip.
Her pulse rapped out an erratic beat. She hunched her
shoulders to make herself smaller, to make sure he didn’t touch her, and stared
at his hand. It looked burly, with a light dusting of hair on his knuckles, and
able to inflict damage. A lot of damage. “Move back.” She hated that her voice
shook.
“But you asked me a question.” His voice, so low and so
hard, roiled her stomach. “And it’d be rude not to answer it, right?” His
breath wafted over the nape of her neck. “Right?”
His steel-edged voice weakened her knees. Tears gathered in
her eyes. Her chest constricted as her breaths came faster. “I said to move
back.”
“Make me move,” he purred into her ear.
She pressed her lips together to keep from crying out. Her
entire body trembled.
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”
Stars crowded her vision. Her mouth dried up.
“You’re all about ordering me around like I’m your little
bitch. So order me now. Go on. I dare you. Make. Me. Move.”
Blackness swallowed her, and she was falling…down…down. Into
an endless abyss.
“Red light…”
