Many of you who read TORTURED asked what happened to Sierra's younger brother who the Saxon orderd to be taken to the woods and killed....well, I listened and here you go. This is the story of Torin and the forbidden love of Alyson, a Celtic woman who would become his greatest strength.

Here is one of my favorite excerpts:
“I was instructed to speak with you.” She saw his smile vanish, his expression bathed by the moon, turned serious.
“From whom do you receive your instruction?” he asked searching her face.
Alyson averted her eyes from his steady gaze and searched what to say to him. “Come, sit here beside me and let me see your hand.” She drew him to a stone bench just outside his room.
“You want to see my hands?” The Roman asked, his eyes alert to the garden around them. “You are becoming a more curious woman, with each passing moment.”
“You must believe me. Back there in the garden, when you grabbed my arm. There was great magic in your touch.” There was barely enough room for the two of them on the small bench. She took his hand, palm up and placed it on her lap.
“I think you would find greater pleasure were my hand turned over,” he stated leaning close, providing her with a charming grin.
“Assuming that you think you know what gives me pleasure, milord?” she asked, guarding herself to his bewitching advances. He bore a magnetism that was hard to ignore, no doubt part of his skillful leadership capabilities. That thought reminded her of why she’d been sent. He was far too easy to fantasize about and seated here at his side made the temptation even greater.
“Forgive me, milady. But do I detect a challenge in your response?”
“Did you not believe me when I tell you I’ve been sent to speak with you?”
“To be truthful, when a beautiful woman appears in the middle of the night in my bedroom, my thoughts do not turn speaking.” He squeezed her hand.
“Listen to me well. This is about you, your future. It has nothing at all to do with me, other than to be the messenger for the gods.”

What readers are saying about Tortured:
"Tortured is driven with the need for hope during such tumultuous times as was that part of history. I felt as if i were whisked away to that time and that land. The vivid descriptions and steady rhythm of the story made for one disturbingly touching tale of hope, love and survival."~Amy
"...you feel as though you are right there with the characters..." Barb
"I wish more readers would give erotic novels a chance. The stories, if well written, like this one is; you will understand the reason for the use of sex in the story. This was my first experience with this author, Amanda McIntyre. I'm glad I took the time to read this novel and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work in the future." a Reader
