I’m excited to be back on WIP It Up Wednesday to bring you a steamy
clip from my latest release. Innocence
Enslaved is my first medieval erotic romance, and I was thrilled to co-author
it with Melody Parks.
You’ll find a sexy, bare-chested, sword-wielding hero, a beautiful
innocent maiden who falls in love with the man who saves her by taking her as
his pleasure slave, and a wicked villainous earl that you will love to hate.
Throw in intrigue, danger, plot turns and twists, hot sex and kink, hotter
spanks, and sizzling romance, what more could you ask for? Hopefully, Melody and I didn’t leave anything
out and you will fall in love with Corbet and Emilia as much as we did.
In this scene, Emilia comes across a training field near
Corbet’s home, full of strong, sword wielding men, one bare chested on in
particular takes her notice.
Now, let’s dive in… Enjoy!
Innocence
Enslaved
By Maddie
Taylor and Melody Parks
At first, she didn’t
notice anything except the powerful, well-muscled body that moved with an easy
grace, the tanned contoured chest, smooth and sleek as though cast in bronze,
shoulders that seemed a yard wide, and thickly muscled arms that bulged and
flexed, at least the one that still held the heavy long sword did. She could
only stare, tongue-tied at the stunning sight, not noticing until the last
moment the damp brown hair that curled up on the ends, and the swath toss
By the saints!
Her inventory stopped
right there. Corbet was absolutely magnificent and he was nearly upon her.
“Emilia,” he called out,
the sound of her name in his deep, slightly breathless voice making her heart
skip a beat. “Why are you here?” He bent low, retrieving the errant sword
before moving closer, not stopping until he was less than a foot away. That put
her in intimate proximity with his bare chest. “A training field, particularly
one prone to errant flying swords, is no place for a female.”
“I, uh, didn’t know,” she
started to explain, but her words came out of her dry throat like a croaking
frog. She swallowed, licked her suddenly parched lips, and tried over. “I but
followed the path, not knowing where it would go, sir. I’m sorry.”
He stood so close and was
so very tall, he blocked out the sun. She squinted up at him, but with the
harsh glare coming from behind him, he was cast in dark silhouette.
“Are you all right?” he
asked suddenly. “You seem a bit unsteady. Maybe it’s the heat. Try the stream
up the hill by
“A swim,” she said
inanely, her gaze fixated on his flat male nipples.
“Uh, yes… That would be,
um, nice.”
“Emilia?”
“Hmm?” she replied, barely
able to put thoughts together, let alone speak as she watched a bead of sweat
trickled down the center of his chest and disappear beneath the waist of his
braes. He twisted suddenly and stabbed the points of both blades into the
earth. Then he angled his head to look down at her. One hand came up to brush a
few strands of hair that tickled her cheek in the breeze. Still, like a
tongue-tied fool, she said nothing.
“This area is off limits
from now on,” he said more gently, and was that amusement in his voice? She
glanced up seeing humor she
“Did you understand me,
little one? My training field is not a place I’ll allow you to frequent.”
“Yes, I understand,” she
whispered, stiffening when both his hands came to her shoulders and spun her
about.
“I need to get back to it,”
he said close to her ear. “Run along now, to somewhere safe. I don’t want you
hurt.”
When she took a step, he
took several, moving back to the center of the clearing. She dared one last
glimpse over her shoulder at his extraordinary physique, turning fully when
with ease, he tossed the heavy blade to the other man. She froze, gawking like
an idiot at the muscles flexing in his arms and shoulders.
Long moments passed and
she still didn’t move. Then the shorter man cleared his throat and jerked his
chin in her direction. Corbet twisted his head enough for his golden gaze to
bore into her.
“I said now, Emilia.”
This time, with the
warning beneath his command unmistakable, she snapped to obey, but as she took
a hurried step backward, her heel caught on a large rock she hadn’t noticed
before and she stumbled. After righting herself, she looked up in time to see his
white teeth flash brilliant against his tanned skin.
“Do you need help finding
your way?”
“No, sir,” she replied
with a squeak.
“Then I’ll see you at
supper.”
The amused laughter of the
other men who had stopped and were observing broke through the spell his
half-naked, sweat-gleaming, magnificent form had cast upon her. Whirling about,
she retreated at double the speed of which she had arrived. She didn’t stop
until she was back in the front yard, then paused to catch her breath and cover
her flushed face with her hands. Zounds! Why did she embarrass herself so every
time they met?

Blurb:
When she is abducted from her village, eighteen-year-old Emilia
Selkirk’s world is turned upside down almost instantly. Stripped naked, bound,
and placed on the auction block, her fate seems hopeless indeed, until a tall,
handsome man speaks up to bid on her. His firm, commanding voice sets her blood
on fire even as the kindness of his tone warms her heart, and she dares to hope
that the future may not be as grim as she feared.
Corbet Mills, a wealthy merchant, has sworn off love forever. He
has seen more than enough cruelty for one lifetime and slave auctions hold no
interest for him, but when he sets eyes on Emilia he is captivated. Perhaps it
is the quiet defiance evident in her pose or perhaps it is simply the alluring
curves of the young redhead’s beautiful, naked form, but something about her
calls to him, and he finds he can’t leave her to the cruel intentions of the
leering crowd.
Intent on playing the part of the hero and keeping Emilia safe
and pure until he can return her to her family, Corbet does his best to resist
her allure. He provides for her, cares for her, and guides her, even when that
means taking her over his knee and administering a long, hard bare-bottom spanking
to correct her behavior. Yet, as he struggles to contain his growing desire to
claim Emelia as his own, an old enemy takes a deeply unwholesome interest in her.
In the midst of intrigue, danger, revenge, and murder, can Corbet protect the
woman he has come to love?
