Shards of the Mind

Book excerpt: Several months have passed since Thea was attacked, but the nightmares continue -- ones filled with blood, knives, and a fear that even the comforting weight of her husbands beside her cannot banish. To distract herself on the voyage to Ta'e, Thea prepares a marriage veil for Sya'tia, and her husbands encourage her to offer it to the Warrior Chosen woman they have all come to care for. Will Sya'tia accept it and join her life to theirs? But, when they arrive at Ta'e, Thea finds it is not the paradise she believed it would be. While the Ta'e'shians do not harbor the same hatred her attacker did, there is a subtle disdain in the air that disturbs her. And, occasionally not so subtle, she discovers, when she meets her new in-laws. Meanwhile, Kyrin and Daeshen are making their own sexy plans to regain Thea's trust in them. They have no intention of letting her pull away from them, even if they have to tie her up to do it...
