“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?
Deleted Scene from Tears of Tess
The
sparkling pool sprawled before us, flowing under quirky bridges, around islands
of palm trees, with an infinity edge cascading onto the beach. The crisp teal
water glistened against the dark sapphire of the sea, like a priceless gem.
Already
my skin pricked with sweat and we’d only just left our room. My white bikini,
embroidered with little black seahorses, made my skin look darker than its
natural shade of white, and my flower crocheted sundress revealed glimpses of
flesh through the needlework. Both items I’d bought at the Melbourne markets a
few days ago. I wanted to look hot for Brax. I hadn’t been working out this
hard at the university gym for nothing.
I was in the best shape of my life, tight and toned; I had every
intention of flashing my man.
Maybe
that was why my libido was sky-high?
Didn’t people say your sex drive increased when you exercised?
I peered
at Brax across the table, eating his breakfast of fresh fruit and cereal. He
wasn’t like a typical Aussie builder. He didn’t eat pies or junk food. He took
care of himself, and his exercise came in the form of lugging bricks and timber
around in the toiling Melbourne sun.
He
crunched a mouthful of muesli, watching me with an amused look. “You’re spacing
again, Tessie. Anything you want to tell me?”
So
adorable in his lavender t-shirt and baggy white shorts, he was the poster boy
of holiday chic. His hair damp from a shower and a droplet of milk trembled on
his lower lip.
My
stomach clenched. I unsuccessfully tried to get him in the mood this morning.
Food was the only thing on his brain. But now that we’d eaten…I had a plan.

I won't pretend that I'm not curious about what happens next! I get the feeling that this might not be my sort of read though. The book description makes it sound quite dark and intense. Still, I'm curious. :) Thanks for sharing!
