Snatched

by Rachel Cray

Julia Bennett works for a prestigious international law firm in London. On her way to meet her boyfriend after work one evening, something happens which threatens to change her entire a group of dangerous criminals snatch her in a bizarre case of mistaken identity. She is subjected to some rough treatment by these men but, once her true identity is established, her contrite captor - the gang boss - falls in love with her and attempts to make amends for her appalling treatment. But, when the police catch these criminals, her problems are far from over. Can she live a normal life again? Will her boyfriend's love for her still be strong enough, and able to cope with this extraordinary ordeal? And what about the woman who was the criminal gang's real target?This work contains adult themes (including non-violent BDSM) which render this book unsuitable for people under 18 years of age. It is an erotic romance novella, over 30,000 words long (approximately 110 pages of a standard paperback).SAMPLE EXTRACTThe floor was carpeted, and the room was heated, unlike the cold reception hall downstairs. I had no idea whether there was anyone else in the room; indeed, the blindfold was so thick I had no idea if there was any light in the chamber.I lay on the floor, crying, for five minutes. Then I thought I might get to my feet and walk round to determine the size of the room, and to check whether I was alone; there might be other people here, either guards or other prisoners.I steadily rose to my feet, and made my first uncertain steps.“All right, boys. Let’s do it!” A male voice yelled past my ear.His command was met by loud cheering from other men in the room. When I first entered this place, I was bewildered. But now I was even more confused. They had remained quiet when I had been thrown into this place, had watched me - naked, exposed and defenceless - and had observed my stumbling around.Hands touched me now. I was being pulled towards one side, and lifted on to the cold surface of a table. I was made to lie on my back, and their hands pulled at my ankles, forcing my legs wide apart. I gritted my teeth, preparing myself for whatever lay ahead.But it didn’t happen.I heard them undressing; they were undoing their belts and pulling their pants down. “Remember, boys, no touching... anywhere!”The steel handcuffs pressed into my back as I lay on the table. I moved my arms so that the cuffs were at the side of my body, but I was still very uncomfortable. Then I heard muffled sounds, and couldn’t understand what was going on. I lay still.....At the end of this ordeal, I heard approaching footsteps as someone else came into the room. He walked towards the head of the table, and pulled off my blindfold.It was the steward.“Don’t look at me, Ms. Bennett.... This is just the first part of your humiliation. There’s a lot worse to come, when my master arrives. I bid you goodnight.”

About the author

I write erotic romances - mostly in novella length (around 30,000 words, or the equivalent of 120 pages in a paperback), price 99 cents on Kindle.

Recent stories have been erotic romances set in U.S. law firms; I used to be the director of administration at the London office of a large U.S. law firm for many years, and there were love affairs bouncing all over the place. Needless to add, the characters in my U.S. law firm are very horny and very hot!
I also write a series set in a fictional English country town of Maybourne, where there are all kinds of horny characters!
I first started writing when I was eight years old, encouraged by my schoolteacher. I remember writing two long stories in that year: one about a spacewoman (that's a lady astronaut in today's parlance) and another about a girl stranded on a desert island. I wrote two pages (both sides of one sheet) every day, and they were circulated as a serial round the class. Both stories ran to around 16 episodes! Then, moving into puberty, I began experimenting with more "adult" subjects which got me into trouble with my headmaster. So I gave it a rest for a few years....
I've written historical fiction as well (based on my PhD research studies at university) and I might dig that out and publish it sometime.
Other personal stuff: I'm married with two children and have grandchildren (which I don't see often enough). I've worked in several European countries, first as a secretary and then as an executive assistant, before settling in Surrey, England, when I returned to working in London.

[Victoria Norton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved it, I like my kidnap and slave books but this one... I couldn't stop reading. How the story hooks you in without knowing the details, the scenes where amazing. I would recommend this book.
I'm not really a book person and my dad brought me a book on the kindle and I picked the wrong one... But I now know I made the right choice
