Teaser Time
Hiya
Here’s another teaser from Tears of Tess.

***
How could I think that Q might be the one for me? He didn’t make my soul sing. He made it weep and scream and tear itself in pieces.
“I hate you.”
“No you don’t. You just don’t want to see.”
“See what?” I snapped.
He stood and pulled me toward him in one fierce move. “You are mine. I can do what I want with you. I can dress you. Fuck you. Send you away. Loan you to others. You belong to me. And you’ve finally realized that it isn’t romantic, it isn’t sexy or fun. It’s something that no one should want or desire. You’re a captive.” He shook me, his headache etching his face with pain. “My role as your master is to debase you to the point of having no feelings, no emotion, no hopes or dreams. I tell you to fuck another man, you ask for how long. I tell you to wear something you do not fucking chop it up in defiance. You wear it and appreciate what I give you. You’re mine, esclave. And it isn’t a fucking romance.”
He let me go, pushing me so I stumbled. “How does it feel to face the truth?”
The truth was excruciating. The truth told me i was nothing.

Snippet Sunday
Hi all
I joined this cool group on Facebook called Snippet Sunday. And we get to share little bits from our WIP. Now you’re probably sick and tired of me posting things about Tess of Tess but that’s all I’m working on right now so…. here you go:
The maid giggled. “Guess that answers that question. But before we can feed you, the master has requested you join him. He’s in the dining room.” She cocked her head at the other end of the lounge. A pair of sliding glass doors blocked a decadent old English style dining room.
Q sat at the head of the table. A newspaper spread out in his hands, blocking his face.
Seeing him again sent barbwire tangling around my stomach. I didn’t want to see him ever again. The entire house lulled me into some sense of acceptance, but I would never get used to being owned.
I shuddered at the word. Not that he bought me, but accepted me as a bribe. Who did that? A bribe for what?
I shook my head. “I’m not seeing him.”
The maid stilled, hands full of pastries. “You have no choice. He summons. You go. That is the law.”
“Law?” My eyebrow twitched. I instantly hated that word. The law was something officers upheld. It was a word that implied safety not rules dictated by a mad man.
“Law.” The masculine baritone came from behind. His presence sent chills up and down my spine. I didn’t jump. I prided myself on that. I’d have to get used to how silent he was on his feet.
Keeping my head high and my back straight, I turned to face the master.
“I obey no such law.”
Q growled, rubbing a hand over a stubbly cheek. The dark brown of his hair was extra glossy and his wintery green gaze froze me to my core. Dressed in a graphite suit with silver shirt and black tie he looked distinguished, intelligent.
I cried out as he grabbed me. “I summon. You come. That is the only law you need to understand. I am your owner. You haven’t forgotten that so soon, have you?”
That’s it

Title: Tears of Tess
Author: Pepper Winters
Release Date: September 2013
*Add to GoodReads*
Synopsis:
A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and nonconsensual sex. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.
“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect.
Then it all changed.
I was sold.”
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?
