Say hello to my guest, Lynn Burke! She’s here to tell you about her swoon-worthy new novella, Abel’s Obsession. Enjoy!

โœฝโœฝโœฝ

Abel Beiler’s story came about while visiting my parents in Amish country this past April. While leaving for home early Sunday morning, I pulled up to a stop sign at a four-way intersection as horses labored to pull their Amish owners and families in their buggies to Sunday worship.

One young man in an open buggy sat to my right at the stop sign, unsmiling, leaning forward, elbows on knees and reins slack in his hands. I had this overwhelming urge to smile at him, trying to bring a little sunshine to his miserable countenance.

My plan didnโ€™t work, and even though I was in an SUV with 3 children, the idea of Abel and Dani slammed into my brain, occupying my thoughts the whole way home. I voice-to-text in my phoneโ€™s notepad off and on the entire seven hour ride back to Massachusetts as Abel whispered his struggle to find himself in my brain.

Abelโ€™s Obsession is by far the raunchiest story Iโ€™ve written to date, and Iโ€™m hoping the most eye-opening as well. An oppressed life isnโ€™t a joyful one, and finding the strength to free yourself isnโ€™t always easy. Neither is the choice to take wing and fly.

A young man of religious fervor and self-control, Abel Beiler has every intention of honoring his parents and being baptized into the Amish church. The woman with red curls and flashing green eyes in the back of a convertible, however, makes Abel wonder what life with the English might be like.

He strives to withstand temptation, but the memory of the woman he yearns to dominate, coupled with the explicit images in his cousinโ€™s filthy magazine, threatens his restraint.

Red, his sinful obsession, haunts his shameful dreams and becomes a secret part of his life. When faced with truth beyond faith, Abel must decide where he belongsโ€”with the Amish community, or the woman who owns his heart.

Abel's Obsession by Lynn Burke

Excerpt:

Much later and hoarse from singing for two hours, my curiosity overrode my better sense, and I followed Eli into the hayloft of their barn. While I held the kerosene lamp, he climbed high into the rafters and returned with a magazine clutched in his hand.

โ€œGot this from my new English friend, Toby.โ€ He sat on a bale, opened the magazine, and turned it toward me.

Lust kicked me in the gut, and I couldnโ€™t speak.

A naked woman lay spread eagle and bound by ropes to a bed, a blindfold and some sort of ball gag in her mouth. A man loomed over her, whip in hand. Tear streaks lined the womanโ€™s face. Red slashes marked her thighs. Wetness coated the pink folds of her sex, glistening, and set my mouth to watering.

The image burned into my brainโ€”submission in an entirely different way than the Old Orderโ€™s definition of the word.ย Spirituality is submission, is what had been reiterated in my ears since childhood. Self-surrender. The willingness to give up oneself to the community andย Gottโ€™sย chosen leaders.

I soaked in the sinful picture, and for the first time in my life wanted power. Wanted control. I wanted a womanโ€™s submission like the man in leather beside her owned. Unable to tear my gaze off the image, I struggled to swallow.

โ€œDidnโ€™t know people actually did this shit.โ€

Eliโ€™s curse, the first I had heard from him, barely registered past the blood rushing in my ears. My body tensed as longing to be the man standing over that woman, whip in hand raced through me faster than any thoroughbredโ€”or car.

The image of Red flashed in my mind, and suddenly it was her bound to the bed in the picture, breathing heavily, trembling, and begging for meโ€ฆ
