BONUS SCENE from Claimed in the Deadlands

There are rules for courtship.

Timing. Privacy. A bed, preferably.

Torin ignores all of them.

Somewhere in the Deadlands, with tension coiled tight, he makes a very straightforward request—one that Emmarie thinks she should refuse.

But she doesn’t.

What follows is bold, impulsive, and impossible to walk away from unchanged.

Step into this exclusive moment and see what happens when patience runs out… and desire doesn’t.
