Excerpt:
“What have they done to you?” Troy’s deep, baritone voice rumbled
through her. She could not look him in the eye. “You needn’t be scared of me,
wee fille. You have my word I will honor and protect you. I am not like those
other men. I will do you no harm.”
Before she could say she truly wanted to believe him, Troy pulled her
gently toward him and positioned her so she sat between his thighs. She did not
lean back against him, her distrust like a solid piece of ice wedged between
them. She gripped the edges of her blanket tightly and held it against her like
a shield.
“You have only my word I will not hurt you.” The fine hairs on her arms
stood on end as his warm breath danced across her neck. She closed her eyes and
kept her back ramrod straight. Heat burned her cheeks as he nuzzled her neck.
“And I pray in time you will accept my word as being truthful.”
She leaned ever so slightly against him. And when he wrapped his strong
arms around her, she released the breath she hadn’t realized she’d been
holding.
“It’s late. We should go back to bed.” Yet, she made no move to leave
his embrace. Instead, she placed her hands on his thighs. The heat of him
seeped into her palms, up her arms, and straight in to her heart. While she
believed Troy when he said he would do her no harm, physically, Aveline knew
there was more than one way to hurt someone.
BLURB:

herself in the company of Troy de Gysborne she must quickly decide if she can
trust him. But can she confess to murder knowing it would mean her certain
death?

the unthinkable; he tore the bonds of brotherhood and left a path of
destruction in his wake. And now Troy must face those he betrayed, including
the father who long ago renounced him. But to confess to the crime he committed
will cost him everything. Including Aveline. But can he remain silent if it
