The icy wind penetrated the woman’s flimsy cloak and deep into her aching bones. It was almost dark and the dense forest on either side of the track was gloomy and menacing.  The trees made a creaking, moaning noise as the wind howled through them, and there came a sound of a distant wolf, but she tried not to be afraid. She had been walking for nearly three days and her body was so weary that she was scared that it would let her down and that she would collapse here in this lonely and desolate place. Sheer willpower and thoughts of her precious Sofiya were the only things forcing her to keep placing one foot after another.

Sofiya was her joy and her reason for living. She was her vibrant and beautiful eighteen-year-old daughter and since her husband’s death, with Sofiya no more than an infant, there had been just the two of them, together against the harsh and unforgiving world. She would walk to the ends of the earth for her child and right now she felt as though she was walking to the ends of the earth, but she had no choice since the night that the men came and took her child.

She had only been away from the house for a few hours taking care of a sick old man at the other side of the village, but it was long enough for them to gallop to her home and snatch her precious daughter. A neighbour came running to tell her that Sofiya had been taken, that four men on horseback and with daggers tucked into their waistbands had entered her house and dragged her daughter screaming to one of the horses. They had flung her over the saddle in front of one of the riders, and within minutes, had galloped away. When the woman heard the news she sank to the floor and screamed so much that people came running from far and wide to find out what evil had occurred that someone should cry out with such pain and anguish.

One of the men, new to the village, said he was afraid that Sofiya had been taken by a band of criminals known for stealing cattle and treasure from wherever they could find it, and they also took away pretty young women who caught their eye. He had heard of such events from people in his previous village, and the women they took were not heard from again. Some said that they were sold into slavery in far away places.

On hearing this, the woman fainted.

When she recovered consciousness she knew that she must find Sofiya and rescue her from whatever terror and degradation that would come from being with such men.  Life without her daughter could not be contemplated. She collected some food and her cloak and set out to find Sofiya, uncertain where to go and how far she must travel.

Keeping Faith


The Duke of Buckingham’s lascivious and deviant attentions are too much for Faith, so she leaves him. Only he made her feel more alive than ever before, and now she regrets her choice.

To her own amazement, she changes her mind and decides to return to extend her contract with him. She is now his property until the end of Ruttingdon Club’s licentious house party at the duke’s country home.

While most of the upper crust party guests are happy to follow Club rules, one man seems determined to claim Faith as his own and make her bleed, despite the rules.

Now, with the duke bound by Club tradition, Faith is placed in a dangerous position when the evil Sir Leslie decides to snatch her away from the man she loves.

Can the duke overcome a lifetime’s strict adherence to his own sense of honour and the rules of the Club? Or will Faith be left to the mercy of the cruel Sir Leslie?
