At The Highwayman's Pleasure (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
With the door closed and the blinds drawn it was black as pitch inside the carriage, and she felt an uncontrollable panic rising within her as it jolted into motion. Her first thought was that she had been abducted by her father, until she heard herself addressed by a cheerful and decidedly Irish voice. ‘Whist now, me pretty wildcat, just stop yer spittin’ and scratchin’ and I’ll let you go.’ She was unaccountably relieved—her situation might be dire, but nothing outweighed the terror that her father instilled in her, despite her years away from him. She stopped struggling and felt those strong arms release their iron grip. There was a deep chuckle and the suffocating hand was removed from her face. ‘There now, that’s—’ The words ended in a smothered exclamation as she threw herself in the direction of the door and began to scrabble at the panelling, trying to find the handle. ‘Hell and confound it, woman, will you be still!’ She was hauled back onto the seat and a vice-like grip clamped her against a large solid body.
