The young Master's little prey

BLURB: For refusing to go ahead with a marriage proposal he made between her and a ruthless monster, Robert Wilson disowned his daughter Judith Wilson, stripping her off her birth rights, but what happens when Judy returns to reclaim what is rightfully hers,this time with a stronger back up. What kind of father would impose such fear on his daughter? Judy crouched shivering behind a tree in the woods, cold not just from her damp dress but also from the dread of her chasers. Blood leaked from an ankle wound she had obtained during escape. Her breathing became rapid, damp hair clung to her forehead, mixing tears with the rain. The noise of approaching footsteps was interrupted by gunfire. Gripping her chest, she closed her eyes firmly, stifling her cries as additional tears streamed down. An irate male voice yelled, “I said no shooting; we need her ali…” Before he could complete his sentence, additional gunfire broke out, resulting in three of his men dead on the ground. Understanding the threat, he pulled out his firearm, terror clear on his expression, his eyes widened when he sited his predator —it was the beast himself. Judy's heart pounded as the turmoil subsided, yet she continued to worry about how many wished for her demise. New sounds of footsteps drew closer, heightening her anxiety and forcing her to conceal herself further against the tree. In the shadows, she couldn't see but perceived the figure halt beside her. Her voice quivering, she faltered, urgently begging, “Pleeasss…don't… I...will…” Her terror only enraged him further, he was the only one permitted to make her feel this way. “Rabbit,” he whispered gently, and Judy's eyes grew wide with astonishment, skepticism, and—most importantly —relief.
