Excerpt

EXCERPT FROM DEGREE OF SOLITUDE
COPYRIGHT © TRACY COOPER-POSEY 2019
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Catrin opened the door cautiously and blinked at the thick darkness beyond. Heavy drapes lay across every window, cutting out all light, and no lamp or fire was lit.

“Shut the damned door!” came the slurred, peremptory demand.

Her heart leaping, Catrin shut the door behind her.  She could not see him, but she knew the voice.  It was Daniel, and he was very drunk.

“I meant shut it with you on t’other side,” he growled.

“Daniel, it is me.  Catrin.”

The silence that greeted her seemed to throb.  Her heart beat with it.

Then he groaned again.  It was the same agony-filled sound as before, only this time she was close enough to hear his gasping breath once he ceased groaning.  From the sound of his voice, she judged he was somewhere on the left side of the room.

She had caught a glimpse of drapes when she opened the door.  She moved toward them now, her hand out in front of her.  Nothing barred her passage, not even Daniel.  She felt heavy wool tapestry against her fingers, gripped the fringed drape and pulled it aside.

It was not bright outside, but the introduction of daylight into a room which had been almost totally dark made it seem as though dazzling sun shone directly in the windows.

“God, stop!  Stop it!  Close them!” Daniel cried.

Catrin whirled, her hand still gripping the drape, uncertainty spearing through her.

Daniel stood next to a round table that bore no cloth, not even a placemat.  It was littered with dishes and soiled glasses, and at least four bottles of liquor—there may have been more, but her single glance did not allow her to count.

He held his arm over his eyes. His head was turn away from the window.  The light was hurting him.  For a frozen moment, Catrin could not tear her gaze away from the red, jagged scar on his cheek.

It climbed from the corner of his mouth to the far corner of his eye.  The skin was drawn up around it and the scar itself was thick.  It seemed to writhe on his skin.  While the scar was an angry red, the skin around it seemed drained of vitality.

He cursed, his voice thick, and staggered toward the window, groping blindly with his eyes screwed shut.  Catrin just barely stepped out of the way in time, for he fell heavily against the frame, one hand propping him up.

Her boots crunched upon sharp fragments and she skipped out of the way again.  The shards and fragments of a wash bowl and possibly the jug that usually accompanied such a bowl lay against the floor, with enough of the particles piled up against the wall to tell her where both implements had been flung.

Daniel fumbled for the drape, gripped it and yanked the curtain closed once more.

The room fell into darkness.

“Get out,” Daniel breathed.  This time, his words were perfectly clear.

“I came to see…to help…” she began.  Her throat closed down.  The anger in his voice!  Uncertainty overwhelmed her.

“I said, get out!”  His voice rose in a harsh shout.  Then he screamed.  It was a scream of pain mixed with a fury that strained his voice.

Catrina clapped her hand over her mouth to stop an echoing scream from emerging.  Trembling, the flesh on her back crawling, as she wondered if Daniel would reach for her, his hands closing around her in the dark, she lunged for the door and fought to open it.

She stepped out and shut the door and leaned against it, breathing hard.  Her corset was far too tight.  She raised a hand to tuck a loose curl back into her hair.  Her hand shook so hard, more tendrils escaped.

Catrin instead wiped her damp cheeks, then picked up her skirt and went back downstairs, where the only other people in the house she had seen so far would, she hoped, still be waiting.

She had questions to ask of them.  Many of them.

As she moved to the stairs, she heard more china shattering, behind her.

If you are familiar with the previous series, I am sure you fell in love with the huge family like I did.

She is a go to author for me when I need a fix of historical romance.

Tracy Cooper-Posey takes us into the staid yet surprisingly bawdy Victorian Era where appearance is everything and secrets are held inside the family.

_____________

The man she once loved is now a monster she doesn’t know.

Catrin and Daniel love each other, but Daniel refused to further their relationship for fear of curtailing Catrin’s intellectual and personal freedom, and dooming her to a life of domestic servitude as his wife.  Yet their lives remain entangled.

When Daniel is shot in the face during a family rescue in Algeria, he brutally severs the ties between them and removes himself to a remote village in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Catrin travels to Wales in a last bid to resolve their differences, but the terrifying man she finds there is not the Daniel she once knew…

This book is the ninth book in the Scandalous Scions series, bringing together the members of three great families, to love and play under the gaze of the Victorian era’s moralistic, straight-laced society.

Reader Advisory: This story contains frank sex scenes and sexual language.
