Sorcha's Dark Captor (The Highland Temptress #3)
Tessa Murran
Sorcha Govan wakes in a snowy ditch surrounded by wolves. Lost and alone, with no idea who she is, she stumbles into the clutches of rough men who sell her into servitude. Sorcha is terrified of the hard-faced old man and his hooded companion who buy her and drag her north. But fate has something worse in store for Sorcha when she reaches dismal Knockhell Castle, home of cruel Laird, Balloch Roth.
What kind of horror lurks in the lonely tower, deep inside the ancient forest bearing down on his keep? Strange howls of anguish rend the night, and Sorcha soon finds herself sacrificed to a wrathful beast of a man.
Folk say Lucan Roth is a demon who brings a plague down on his house, causes the crops to fail and bad fortune to stalk the land, and they are not far wrong. Lucan Roth has become a twisted soul, tortured by his past and scarred by fire and blood. He dreads returning to his clan and his monstrous father, Balloch.
Journeying home, he encounters a lass who seems to have lost her wits and is in danger of being denounced as a witch. It is folly to rescue her, but his last shred of honour compels him to. He retreats to the woods surrounding Knockhell Castle and shuns everyone until his father forces the lass to be his servant, companion, and, if Lucan desires, his bed-warmer.
To survive, Sorcha must rescue the dark and troubled Lucan from drowning in a well of self-hatred, while struggling to remember who she is and why she keeps having such terrifying nightmares.
Sorcha’s Dark Captor is a raw and passionate, captive Highland romance set in a shivering winter forest swirling with dark secrets and witchcraft.
It is the third and final book in the Highland Temptress Series, but each book can be read as a stand-alone novel.
