Quote:Raised in a trading port, I'd seen my share of attractive sailors.
But I'd never cared to get to know one, let alone allow one to follow me around, drawing my neighbors' suspicions that I was a seductress.
Until the day I pulled him from the water.
I found him drowned and alone, and I breathed life into him before I knew his name.
But the moment Kye opened his golden-brown eyes, I fell under a spell I couldn't escape-until I found myself trapped under his knife.
He betrayed me to my enemies, this man who owes me his life. And I hate him.
To him, it's a game of power. But to me, it's freedom or captivity.
With every dark gaze, every whispered threat, I find myself drawn to him against my will. But I refuse to fall for him a second time.
He'll have to kill me first.
