Despite his fury over her treachery, Skye’s gentle beauty calls to his soul, calming the wild chaos within him, and stealing his heart. But when evil threatens, Paenther and Skye’s only chance at survival is to trust in one another…and the power of love. Passion Untamed is Book 3 in the Feral Warriors series

As I started plotting Passion Untamed, I began to think about where the Mage might be holding Paenther. At first, I envisioned the basement of a large house, something similar to the Ferals’ own prisons. But that answer didn’t resonate with me. I wanted something different. And I mean different. It just so happened that these thoughts were going through my head on a family trip down I-81 in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We passed a billboard advertising Dixie Caverns and my husband, who’d been there before, said, “One of these days, I’m going to have to take you there. You’d like it.” My reply? “How about today?” I’d found my answer. The Dixie Caverns are far smaller than their Mage counterparts, but the eerie feeling of being deep underground inspired scenes that haunt me, even now.     
Excerpted from Chapter One Paenther fought his way back to consciousness like a man hacking a path through a fog-shrouded jungle. Little by little, he parted the misty enchantment that encased his brain, impressions flying at him through his senses. Cold, rough stone dug into the bare flesh of his back as he lay with his arms pulled taut above his head. He flexed his muscles and tried to move, but harsh metal bit into his wrists as the sound of chains clanked against the rock. Icy disbelief clawed through his mind. His pulse began to race. He was chained. Naked. Finally, finally, his vision tore free of the enchantment. His eyes snapped open and he stared around him at the unlikely sight. He was alone. In a cave. High above him, dozens of dagger-like stalactites dripped from the roof. Floating around them were small flames encased in luminescent bubbles. A sight he hadn’t seen since Ancreta’s dungeon. A sight that filled him with cold dread. Mage lightwicks. He fought against his bonds in furious desperation as he struggled to remember what had happened. The beauty. Innocence and wisdom shining from eyes the color of a summer sky. He’d buried himself inside her and found a passion and release more intense, more incredible, than any he’d ever known. Until, at that moment of raging perfection, she’d revealed herself to be Mage and he’d felt the net of enchantment snare his mind. The memory stopped his breath, cramping his guts. For the second time in his life, he’d been captured by a Mage witch. Fury charged through his body, a yell of denial roaring through his head as he struggled to free himself. This couldn’t be happening. He had not fallen into another Mage trap! He’d barely survived the first one. Goddess, he had to get out of here. He studied his cage with a strafing gaze. It appeared to be a room, an uneven room roughly fifteen by fifteen feet, with a steel door that had been left open. Through the doorway, he glimpsed more stone, telling him he was probably in one of the extensive caverns that riddled the Blue Ridge. The air was damp and cool, but he barely felt the chill through the rage boiling his blood. The rock slab beneath him appeared to be high off the ground, yet attached to the wall like some kind of wide, natural shelf. The wall curved just enough to shield him from the mineral-laden water dripping from the stalactites into the puddles on the floor. As he tipped his head back to look behind him, he caught the odd sight of a shower head sticking out of the rock. Plumbing? Was this actually the Mage stronghold, then, and not simply a prison? He turned to look the other direction behind him, and froze. Hanging from wooden hangers, from a single peg on the wall, were three softly colored dresses in a shape-less, long-sleeved style he recognized all too well. Hers. Fury ripped through his mind as he remembered, in painful clarity, lifting the hem of one of those soft, worn dresses and sliding his hand beneath to encounter only warm flesh and damp heat. A heat the witch had invited him to drive himself into. He had, and it was an act he’d regret for the rest of his life. He wondered just how long that would be, now.
Ah, goddess. If only you’d stopped me. No fate could be worse. He’d have sold his soul to have escaped this. Heaven help him. His soul was probably the very thing the witch wanted. To finish what Ancreta had started all those years ago – tearing him loose from his animal once and for all.
