Excerpt:
“I’ll take the
rest of your clothes now.” [Déak said]
Freja hesitated
and he delivered a sharp smack to her bottom through her wet panties. “When I
tell you to do something, My Innocent, I do it for your own good and I expect
you to obey. Immediately.” His tone was imperious, but his eyes glowed with
tender humor. “We’ve wasted too much time for you to play coy now.”
He hadn’t
forgotten her. He’d measured their separation like she had, aware of lost time.
And he’d remembered how she responded to a loving whack.
Hastily she
stripped off her wet t-shirt, unsure of why she’d been even slightly reluctant
to do as he said. Hadn’t she dreamt of this reunion for years? She needed to
lay herself open to him, body and soul. When she peeled off her bra, her
nipples stood erect, as hard as stones. Déak looked at them and the color of
his hair darkened from blue to blue-black immediately. He walked back to the
rickleberry bush and hung her t-shirt and bra next to her jeans. She followed
him a few paces, determined not to let him out of her sight.
Her breath
quickened at the signs of his arousal. She longed to rake her fingers through
his gorgeous mane, to press her curves against his sculpted body again but this
time with no flimsy cloth separating them.
Blurb:
Freja, rescued from the flesh markets of
Silvelea at a young age, has learned firsthand how difficult life is for orphan
girls on the planet of Devmaer. Her “rescue” landed her in the harsh world of
Matron Cass Warren’s Girls Crib, where young girls are groomed to be sold off
as mates to the highest bidder as soon as they reach maturity.
At eighteen Freja was drawn to Déak Ryba,
the first man to ever show her kindness. But he didn’t stand a chance against
Iwon Sándor’s money and power. Iwon claimed Freja’s hand, condemning her to a
miserable life of abuse and neglect.
After three long-suffering years, Freja’s
matehood was cut short by his untimely death.
For the first time in her life Freja finds
herself free - free to work like a slave to repay the staggering debts Iwon
left her. During her final ritual as his widow, a freak accident sweeps her out
to sea and remarkably, right back into Déak’s arms.
Can the love that Déak and Freja once
shared possibly have survived long years of separation? Will they finally claim
the shared life that was denied them? Or will their happiness be stolen again
by the sinister forces circling at the edge of their lives?
This novella is a prequel to Bound To The Admiral, book 1
in The Lighthouses of Devmaer series. It introduces the alien world
of the planet Devmaer as well as some of the minor characters.
While it is a part of a series, it has a
satisfying ending and can be read as a standalone.
Disclaimer: Bound to the Past is a second chance, fantasy-world romance. Along with a happily-ever after ending, it has some very steamy scenes, including elements of power exchange and discipline.
About the Author:
Libby Campbell
My romance novels feature strong,
self-reliant women and the powerful men who love them. Romantic by nature, I
write the stories I want to read: those that feature a spicy power exchange and
deliver a sting in the tale.
Canadian by birth, I also lived in
Australia for a couple of decades. While living there I overcame my aversion to
saucer-sized spiders and, as a condition of marriage to my Aussie Prince
Charming, I swore a lifelong allegiance to the Melbourne Football Club.
Then family called and my husband and I packed
up and moved. We now live on a rocky island on Canada’s West Coast, close to
beaches that once were frequented by smugglers and rumrunners.
My passions are reading and writing. I
adore all animals and love hiking, beachcombing, and an occasional night of
dancing.
