Born Taken

**I used to be innocent. Optimistic and carefree. But once he woke me from my peaceful slumber, He showed me his dark side. He’ll never let me go again…** I saw him waiting for me on the horizon. The nightmare man. Every step he took broke the soil. Gold spurs arched over the heels of his cavalier boots. A thick scar ran across his face. He looked deep into my eyes and grinned. When he was near, he knelt down, revealing a single rose. I knew he’d be the man to take me away from my family forever. I knew he’d break me. I tried to run. I screamed, gasping for air. I was trapped in his dark and pointed eyes, consumed by his wicked smile. He took my hand and showed me the sunken place, the darkest recesses of his deplorable mind. From the start, he made on oath to never let me go. And though I still dream of a day I can escape him, I should know better. Nightmares are for dreamers. **Penelope Woods brings you the start of something twisted, sinister, and steamy. Born Taken is a wicked 11,000 word prelude to the Broken Angel Series. The series ends with a HEA, but for now, this author must warn you: if you are easily offended or triggered, be prepared to turn away.**
