ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 11, 2015
Fifth Book in the New York Times Bestselling Series
“We’d won. We’d cut through the lies and treachery and promised an alliance that would free us both. But even as we won, we lost. We didn’t see what was coming. We didn’t know we had to plan a resurrection.”
Nila Weaver fell in love. She gifted her entire soul to a man she believed was worthy. And in the process, she destroyed herself. Three debts paid, the fourth only days away. The Debt Inheritance has almost claimed another victim.
Jethro Hawk fell in love. He let down his walls to a woman he believed was his cure. For a moment, he was free. But then he paid the ultimate price.
There is no more love. Only war. Hope is dead. Now, there is only death all around them.
••••••••••••
REVIEW: FOURTH DEBT is the fifth installment in Pepper Winters’s contemporary, adult Indebted dark, erotic romance series focusing on a six hundred year old debt the Hawk family believes comes due with the first born Weaver daughter-and Nila Weaver is this generation’s payment. FOURTH DEBT is the continuing story of Nila Weaver’s struggles to remain sane and unbroken in the face of her impending death. FOURTH DEBT should not be read as a stand alone as each installment builds upon the events of the previous storylines wherein our heroine pays the price for her ancestor’s sins.
Told from dual first person perspectives FOURTH DEBT follows a grieving Nila as she comes to terms with the greatest loss of her life. No amount of torture or pain can break past the numbness in her heart and her head until a new round of payment extractions finds our heroine facing the worst debt of all.
The premise of FOURTH DEBT continues to be disturbing, dark and demonic. The Hawk family’s need to extract payment comes with it a psychotic need for vengeance and blood. The storyline is awash in graphic details, violent abusive scenarios, and torture all inflicted upon a young woman whose only sin is to be born into the Weaver clan.
FOURTH DEBT reveals some of the Hawk family history: their sickening and violent past; their need for sadistic revenge and payment in blood; their history of forbidden love. The storyline is intense, traumatic and not for the faint of heart.
FOURTH DEBT and the INDEBTED SERIES is an emotional storyline of betrayal and revenge; kidnapping, torture and abuse; love and sacrifice in the face of extraordinary circumstances. The reader is caught in a web of horror; a house of suffering and pain unlike anyone could imagine and through it all our heroine remains steadfast in her love for the man who dropped her into the middle of the unending nightmare.
Pepper Winters’s storylines are controversial and intense; the build up of tension, suspense and anxiety will reach levels of pain and heartache. Her characters are dark, impassioned, and many without a heart or soul. The destructive and twisted nature of greed and revenge lends it focus to a debt where interest continues to grow with each successive generation. No one is safe once the Hawk family demand payment…and payment will be made one way or another.

Bonnie laughed. “Neither did you, dear. Not for a long time.”
He wrapped an arm around her brittle shoulders. “I can’t imagine ever being so terrible.”
My fingernails dug into my palm as I witnessed a seemingly normal bond. How could evil have so many layers? How could it be so obvious one moment, then hidden by family ties and hierarchy the next?
Bonnie tapped her cane against Cut’s foot. “You’re not forgetting what you did, are you? Because I have news for you—you were worse. A lot worse.” Moving forward, she dislodged his hold. “But I straightened out the mess you made. I put things right. I have every faith you will, too.”
Cut nodded. “Damn right, I will.” His eyes strained but apart from a few cracks in his smooth veneer, I would never have guessed he’d pulled the trigger on two of his children.
He’s dead.
He’s dead.
All because of me.
Inching closer to Jasmine, I whispered so only she would hear. “He tried to shoot you, but Jethro saved you. Do you have no shame?”
Her eyes zeroed in on mine. Thoughts and emotions flickered over her face but she didn’t reply.
Her betrayal hurt. Jethro and Kes had loved her. They’d died for her. Who could claim to love them in return yet continue to be in the same house as the man who’d shot them?
My stomach twisted. “You make me sick.”
Her hands tightened around the rims of her wheels. Shutters slammed over her eyes, but still no response.
Tears stung but I had nothing else to say. Only one promise that she might as well hear, so she’d know who truly loved her brother. “I’ll kill you for this. Just like I’ll kill them.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 18, 2014
“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.”
Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter.
She is no longer free.
Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey.

“You say I’ll never own you. If I win—you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another—one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I’ll give you this.”
Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over six hundred years ago, she has no way out.
She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.
Jethro Hawk’s patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him—and not in good ways. He hasn’t leashed her but he thinks he might’ve found a way to bind her forever.
Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.

“I tried to play a game. I tried to wield deceit as perfectly as the Hawks. But when I thought I was winning, I wasn’t. Jethro isn’t what he seems—he’s the master of duplicity. However, I refuse to let him annihilate me further.”
Nila Weaver has grown from naïve seamstress to full-blown fighter. Every humdrum object is her arsenal, and sex…sex is her greatest weapon of all.
She’s paid the First Debt. She’ll probably pay more.
But she has no intention of letting the Hawks win.
Jethro Hawk has found more than a worthy adversary in Nila—he’s found the woman who could destroy him. There’s a fine line between hatred and love, and an even finer path between fear and respect.
The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished.

She healed me. She broke me. I set her free. But we are in this together. We will end this together. The rules of this ancient game can’t be broken.”
Nila Weaver no longer recognises herself. She’s left her lover, her courage, and her promise. Two debts down. Too many to go.
Jethro Hawk no longer recognises himself. He’s embraced what he always ran from, and now faces punishment far greater than he feared.
It’s almost time. It’s demanding to be paid.
The Third Debt will be the ultimate test…

Great review, Sandy. This is not for me, sounds way too violent. I would sympathize with the heroine, and and toss out the book when it got too emotional and graphic. If i read right, the story continues on Nila’s torture. How can you love a man who allows you to be tortured and killed.
Wow, sounds like a tense story. Thanks for the review, Sandy.
Thanks for the review Sandy-sounds like a roller coaster of emotions and dark drama. I have the first book in the series, hoping to catch up soon.
Great review Sandy. I have been reading this series-so dark and tormented. Looking forward to a happily every after for Nila, Jet and Kes
Great review . This doesn’t sound like a book I will be interested in reading though.
Very moving review, Sandy. I would have to be in the mood to read something strong like this.
Wow, this sounds very dark and deep. Great review, Sandy
Excellent review Sandy but from reading all of the blurbs and your other reviews I think this series is a little too dark for me !
