I caught the bouquet at my best friend’s wedding. I wasn’t even dating anyone, so I was sure I wouldn’t be next.

Until someone from the past came back. We’d promised if neither of us were married by the time we were thirty we’d marry each other.

But then I’m taken captive by someone else and told I am the sacrifice, that I’m now property. A payment for a debt that has nothing to do with me.

Now I wish I could go back to that boring, safe life. Because this can’t possibly be my fairy tale.

NOTE: This is a dark contemporary standalone that occurs in the same world as The Proposal. This book can be read first or completely by itself.

What Readers Are Saying…

The heat between them in undeniable but it is more than that, as the person she wants to be recognizes the person he is, and they both can’t turn away.” -Dar, Goodreads reader

Colin was HOT. He oozed that strong quiet power that I adore. He was ruthless and powerful yet he was so careful with Macy, it’s a combination I love. 5 Sacrificial Stars!” – Charlie, Goodreads reader

…if you want a wonderful, distinctive and provocative story then you need to read this now.” – Louise H, Goodreads reader

You can read this without having read The Proposal. I will guarantee that if you finish this one without having read the other, you will pick it up right away. If you have read The Proposal, you’ll want to grab this one quick. You won’t be disappointed.” -Melanie, Goodreads reader

SAMPLE: https://kittythomas.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tender-Mercies_sample-v2.mp3

This is my second bestselling book of ALL time. If you haven’t read this one, you’re missing out! The audio is narrated by Gregory Salinas and Lucy Rivers and they have both outdone themselves! It’s extremely well done!

The bonus epilogue has also been recorded as well as a Behind The Scenes author’s note from me.

BLURB:

Grace. That word that finally meant something again. Mercy. Favor. Goodwill.

Fed up with play kink, Grace Warner moves to an island that embraces voluntary enslavement to be with a man she met online. Within hours of her arrival, everything is ripped from her, and she quickly learns play is preferable to reality.

Asher Collins has spent the past year mourning and blaming himself for the death of his slave, Darcy. When Grace catches his eye at a showing, obviously abused, he becomes obsessed with buying her and finding a way to atone for his own past sins.

AND… if you enjoy these narrators, I also have PERSEPHONE narrated by the same male narrator as Tender Mercies:

This title is available both at Audible AND wide at all audiobook online retailers.

AND… I have THE MONSTER KEEPS ME SAFE: narrated by the female narrator. (with a guest appearance in the prologue and epilogue by Teddy Hamilton!

This title is available both at Audible AND wide at all audiobook online retailers.

Thanks for listening!

Next up on the audiobook agenda is the second Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits, Blowing Things Up, which will be out on audio in November!

BIG SKY TEASER SCENE:

Teaser Scene from BIG SKY:

“I hope you like BBQ,” he said. “I didn’t know what kind to get. You were asleep.”

She did like BBQ, but if he was starting to feel guilty for the situation, she wasn’t about to assuage his guilt with a show of gratitude. Somehow in her mind, everything that had happened was her fault. If she’d managed her money better, she wouldn’t have been so stressed and lost her job. She would have been living in the penthouse still, and she would have made a nice breakfast in her big kitchen with the island oven before work that day. Her path and psycho-cowboy’s path never would have crossed. He would have gone back to Vermont without her ever meeting him, and she’d have a raise, and the coveted corner office with the giant windows and spectacular view.

As they drove and she ate, her mind went down other weird paths to Sandy. She wondered how Sandy would have taken this situation if she’d been in Veronica’s place. Sandy would have stupidly taken the job, eager for the cowboy to take her off to his cattle ranch and ride her. Veronica shuddered.

“Are you cold? I can turn on some heat.”

“No, I’m fine.” Though she could admit in a sort of detached way that he was attractive, it was hard to see him that way when he’d taken her like he had. All she wanted was to escape and then punish him for demeaning her like this. Tying her up, treating her like part of his herd of cattle. It made her seethe with rage.

To her surprise, fifteen minutes later he pulled into a rest stop—not the side of the road. She was almost willing to be more agreeable given that he wasn’t going to make her squat in a ditch to pee while he watched.

“This stretch of road is usually pretty dead this time of night. We are going in, and you will not waste time. As you’ve mentioned, I’m in the process of committing a felony. I have no illusions you’d protect me if someone stopped us. I’m taking a risk so you don’t have to suffer. Remember that.”

He untied her and rubbed the soreness out of her ankles and wrists. It felt like a prelude to how he planned to touch her later. He helped her out of the truck and followed her into the restroom, then leaned against the wall outside one of the stalls.

“Don’t think about running. You have even less chance of surviving out here than you do in the city.”

She wanted to kill him.

“Are you just going to stand out there and… listen?”

“That’s the plan. Hop to it, princess.”

“Just go ahead and kill me here. It’ll save us both time and embarrassment.”

“Did you just make a joke?” he asked.

“Maybe.”

“So you trust I’m not going to hurt you?”

“What? No, I don’t trust that. Do you think I’m that stupid?” She shut herself into one of the stalls and locked the door, hoping he wouldn’t crawl under after her.

“I thought you were stupid for isolating yourself, not asking for help, and refusing help that was offered.”

Veronica tried to relax, not believing she was in this situation to begin with. The fear had taken a brief backseat to the embarrassment.

When she stepped out of the stall, he said “That was all? Squirt squirt? And you’re done?”

“I have a tiny bladder.”

She looked at him in the mirror behind her while she washed her hands. He seemed momentarily distracted so she broke off in a run, glad she’d worn tennis shoes and jeans so she could move. Her heart beat erratically as she ran over a couple of hills and into the woods, more scared of the man at her back than the uncertain forest in front of her.

He yelled behind her, but she kept running. Trees came to life, their snarled branches grabbing at her, scratching at her arms, pulling at her shirt in an attempt to rip it. The trees might assault her before Luke ever got the chance. After a minute or so, the patch of trees thinned into a meadow littered with wildflowers—an unexpectedly beautiful sight in the middle of so much ugliness. She couldn’t help looking up for just a moment. The sky opened out before her, vast and fathomless. The night was cold and clear, and the stars and full moon illuminated everything. For a surreal split second she felt more free than she’d ever felt.

Then she was on the ground, and he was on top of her, and she came back to herself.

“Get off me!” She struggled and wedged her knee between his legs, driving hard into his groin.

He cursed and eased off her for a second. It was enough for her to roll onto her stomach and scramble out from under him. Her hands dug into the grass for purchase as she crawled from between his legs. But she wasn’t fast enough.

She let out a shriek when he pulled her hair and threw her back down to the ground, this time straddling her hard enough that she couldn’t get away.

Her shoulder felt bruised from where she’d hit the ground, and his knees dug hard into her hips, pinning her with little effort.

“Please…” The word came out of her in a broken sob. It was the first time she’d begged him, and she hated herself for thinking it might not be the last. “Don’t hurt me.” The words were so soft she wasn’t sure if he’d heard her.

He breathed hard. “Why did you stop running?”

She hadn’t expected that question. At least he understood that she had to attempt escape.

“The sky.”

He looked up, and if he hadn’t had her arms held down, she might have tried to punch him, but the odds weren’t in her favor this time. Don’t escalate the situation anymore. Get away if you can, but don’t escalate. Wait for the next opportunity.

But she feared she’d only get the one opportunity. And now it was gone, lost because she couldn’t help being swept away by the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. No city lights. No city noise. No dark buildings threatening to crush her. Just the sky and the stars and a million brilliant tiny white flowers glowing in the moonlight.

“You’ll love the ranch. This is our sky.”

She didn’t say anything to that because anyone who would do something like this had to be so mad she couldn’t trust anything he said.

BIG SKY BLURB:

Big Sky is my favorite Kitty Thomas story. It’s taboo, hot, and so memorable, that years later I can still remember my feelings while reading.” ~ Aleatha Romig New York Times bestselling author

“I’ve broken horses. I have never-ending patience with women.”

I’d lost my high-powered ad executive job in the city and was deep in debt. I was about to become homeless when a sinfully attractive man offered me a job on his ranch that felt too good to be true.

I turned him down, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Now I’m his captive, a mere servant on his beautiful ranch in the middle of nowhere–for my own good, supposedly.

And of course he wants so much more from me than domestic labor.

What Readers are Saying

Holy f*ck. That was disturbing.

I LOVED IT!” – Eda, Goodreads

I imagine Luke’s tagline to be “FLORIDA MAN….”
Such a complex character, I can’t help but FEEL for him! He does this awful thing- kidnapping a woman who was practically homeless- he knows it’s wrong by HER definition. HE FEELS and he cares. He wasn’t a cruel lover to her (imo), but my goodness he sure did know how to push her limits…

I can see why all my GR friends are in love with this author, I think I love her too. The writing is so beautiful, I love everything about it. To the characters, the scenes, her mentioning the fucking sky and the fucking dialogues. HELLO SO GOOD.” -Benevolent Bastard, Goodreads

Then saw it being discussed in a group, and I was like, WTF? I don’t remember that, so I dashed off and started reading…OMFG! Did that just happen? They did what? Is that a thing? Is it wrong it’s kinda hawt? Ok, enough fan girl blah blah blah! Let’s do this!

Veronica “Ronnie” Carson is all about material pleasures with no fucks given as to cost or the consequences for her spending extravaganzas! Finding herself friendless, homeless and destitute, she is “rescued” by a handsome stranger. And this version of “rescue” is a smexxy cowboy tying her up like she’s the grand prize at the local rodeo, and driving her out to his ranch to become his and his fellow ranch hands little “milk maid”.

Big Sky Pre-Order!

I originally released BIG SKY back in 2012 before dark romance was yet officially “a thing”. There wasn’t the big ready and hungry audience (that sounds a little dirty but whatever, you knew what you were clicking on!), for these kinds of books. So I always felt like BIG SKY could have done better and reached a wider audience.

There were a BUNCH of 1 and 2 star reviews but most of them were because they didn’t like the dark content. A few were for the open-ended ambiguous ending (Though the re-release has a new epilogue from Luke’s POV, and it is EPIC, and solves that “ambiguous ending” problem.) Plus the cover wasn’t that ‘dark’ looking.

But it remains one of my best books for those who love my books, and it’s definitely one of my darkest.

So if you haven’t read this one, it’s re-releasing this Wednesday at a special $2.99 introductory price with a hot sexy dark new cover, the epilogue from Luke (which occurs 5 minutes after the ending of BIG SKY so it’s not some “3 years later” cop-out) And there’s also a Behind The Scenes With Kitty author’s note at the end.

This is a dark contemporary standalone.
