From The Ashes (Force Of Nature Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
It drove me to the warmth of the mansion. Once there, I intended to find an innocuous space to hunker down and await the others' return, but it seemed as though Merc had a different plan. One that I didn't enjoy in the least. I was in the library, curled up on the floor in front of the wood-burning fireplace, a book in my hands. Just as I turned the page to start the sixth chapter, Merc's voice startled me. “Have you managed to pull yourself together yet?” he asked, leaning against the door frame. His broad shoulders seemed to fill the only exit in the room. There was an evenness to his tone, but I was not convinced. It belied the rage boiling up within him. “Yes,” I said, forcing a smile. “I thought I'd take my mind off of things with a little fiction. I always loved to escape into stories when I was young.” “Escape, too, is for the weak,” he said, the chill of his words cutting through me like the cold night air outside. “I guess I never looked at it that way,” I replied calmly, swallowing hard against my rising fear.
