“My life was complete. Happy, content, everything neat and perfect. Then it all changed.I was sold.”
Tess Snow has everything she ever wanted: one more semester before a career in property development, a loving boyfriend, and a future dazzling bright with possibility.
For their two year anniversary, Brax surprises Tess with a romantic trip to Mexico. Sandy beaches, delicious cocktails, and … delicious cocktails, and soul-connecting sex set the mood for a wonderful holiday. With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world.
But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
Can Brax find Tess before she’s broken and ruined, or will Tess’s new owner change her life forever?
A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to grief, slavery, and hard to read subjects. A story about finding love in the strangest of places, a will of iron that grows from necessity, and forgiveness that may not be enough.

Tears of Tess- Pepper Winters
5-star review
Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters is a story that left me with so many emotions, emotions I can’t even express or explain! This story is dark, twisted and so haunting. From the very beginning I was pulled into this dark and realistic world that Pepper created. There were quite a few times where I had to …
Tears of Tess is the first book in the Monsters in the Dark series. This is an intense story and very well written book. For those who are triggered by extreme violence toward women, this would probably not be a book for you. There were parts of the book that I had a challenge reading due to the nature of what was happening. So why five stars? …
Tears of Tess is the first book in the Monsters in the Dark series by author Pepper Winters. This was an interesting story, but I felt a little uncomfortable at times.

Pepper Winter’s Tears of Tess is the first in the Monsters in the Dark series; this dark/suspenseful romance doesn’t touch on just sunshine and flowers, it takes an evil and sinister detour on a track that will bring the reader to the brink of what is the tipping point and falling straight over. The author has a full-speed steady pace throughout …
