Enticed By Ecstasy (Wicked Treasures) - Plot & Excerpts
She was finally in Africa. The trip had been much more difficult than she had ever imagined. It wasn’t until she departed England that she learned she abhorred sea travel, or rather her stomach did. Most of the trip had been spent in her bed trying to keep down what little food she could eat. But all that was past her now. Her gaze scanned the bustling port of Cape Town. She'd read so many stories of Africa in the papers and heard from travelers throughout society. She had seen drawings, but nothing prepared her for the raw, untamed beauty before her. It wasn’t the city or port she looked at, but the land far in the distance. It beckoned her with a siren’s voice she had been unable to ignore. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the unmistakable roar of a lion in the distance. “The lion is a ways off, miss,” said a young lad with a heavy accent as he carted her luggage off from the ship. Abby turned to look at the dark-skinned lad and grinned. He seemed so earnest, his voice filled with as much authority as a boy could muster.
