Fallen Angel

“Ian, ‘tis nothin’. She’s in no real danger. Whoever these brigands are, they will not harm her, not when they can ransom her for a sizable fortune. Come along, all of ye. The lady is no longer our affair. We certainly cannot rob her now.”
Jack urged his horse around, but then a sob rent the air. Several men fell on top of her, tearing at her clothes. A scream of pure terror sent chills up Jack’s spine. “Perhaps I spoke too soon.”
“Scottish rebels or not, we cannot allow them to hurt her,” Quinn said.
“Why not?” Rory said. “She’s the enemy.”
“We do not condone the rape of women, English or otherwise,” Ian snapped.
“Silence,” Jack hissed. One of the men ripped away the lady’s veils. Tears streamed down her face. “Damnation,” he cursed when he beheld her wide, terrified eyes.
Ian stood straight. “For the love of God, Jack.”
Jack turned about. “Back to the horses, lads. We’ve an English lady to save.”
Jack is a 99cent novella, originally written as part of a multi-author bundle. The rest of the outlaws are all standalone, full-length novels.
