The world belonged to Carrie. She was ranked highest in her class at university and had her sights set on a bright future. In a moment of deception by a man she stops to assist with what she believes is a medical emergency, her dreams are shattered. The man drugs Carrie and whisks her away to a cabin in a remote area, where she refuses to eat or drink for days. Seeing her opportunity for freedom, Carrie escapes and struggles to survive in the dense forest. Her abductor follows, with the help of a powerful assassin friend who specializes in tracking. Carrie is soon found, dangling precariously over a steep cliff leading to jagged rocks below. In desperation, Carrie offers the only special gift she has to the assassin who has conditionally extended his aid: her virginity. However, the man, Tyr, has another agenda. His only concern is to get Carrie well to prepare her for sale, as he now claims half of her belongs to him and he should profit as well. He accepts her offer, intending only to aid his friend. Yet, he unwillingly comes to care for her after a perilous bout with pneumonia almost kills Carrie and he is forced to care for her while she clings desperately to life…and to him.
Author
Born and raised in Ontario, C. L. Scholey developed her passion for writing through her love of reading books as a child. Her first book was contracted in Oct 2009 the very same month her first grand son was born. C. L. Scholey still lives in Ontario, in a rural community with her husband and daughter. From the author: Hello, I'm Connie! Now that we've met how about I tell you a little about me? I love to write, it's like having a super power. I was born and raised in Ontario...yes I'm Canadian, no I don't live in an igloo, no I've never pet a polar bear, but I have run into a few black bears, seen wolves, moose, coyotes and I think there's a hundred pound squirrel in my attic. I spend as much time as I can get away with looking for rocks in Bancroft. When I'm not in Bancroft I live in a small town, so people know me when they see me. Some ask me what I'm working on—some even ask me in a regular voice not a whisper. I get bored easily, it's why one day I'll be working on assassins, the next Sci-fi, then Vikings, then vampires, then planning world domination—wait, what? Moving on. I love animals and we have a dog, 120p mastiff. He's great with the kids and careful around them, but he'd run me over for a piece of bologna. Otherwise he loves us. If you want to get to know me better join me on FB or twitter. Right now I need to change back into a mom, it's my best super power.
