Sometimes you aren't given a choice
Her scream resonated in the expanse
of the forest. Had he heard it or merely imagined Violet’s cry as the memory of
Myrtle’s shout for help? He picked up his pace, hastily making his way through
the path. Several yards further he spotted the carriage overturned on its side.
Dismounting from his horse he
stepped closer, examining the scene, making sure it was not a trap before
further pursuing Violet. He pulled the metal handle for the door, the hinges
squeaked as he poked his head inside. The carriage remained empty but a trace
of blood had coated the wall that had been nestled against the grass.
“She’s not here,” he said to
himself. As he walked around the carriage, Francis bent down to examine the
grass. A faint trail of blood had dripped against the grass and dirt. Grabbing
the reigns of his horse, he wandered due north following the trail. Where had
Violet gone? Had she run off, injured and trying to escape? He hoped she was
okay and just hiding until she felt safe enough to return back home. After the
wedding, once noon had passed and Myrtle had wed, Violet would be able to
travel without the fear of attack.
Blurb:
England 1895
New Forest is dangerous territory, where vile men snatch
affluent brides-to-be, forcing marriage, solely for a woman’s dowry. With the
increase in violence, brides of wealth often hire a decoy to ensure their
protection.
When Violet Adams is forced by her caretaker to become a
decoy bride, she must accept the position with honor, even if it means she may
not return. Setting out for New Forest, she soon discovers that being a decoy
bride is not the worst of the danger that lurks, the decoy hunt is far crueler.
The Decoy Bride contains elements of graphic sex, spanking,
anal play, and mild violence.
