Description
A young doctor unexpectedly finds herself forced to indoctrinate into a paramilitary organization, where a stoic hero silently falls in love. Slowly, he earns her trust. The love between them burns away the darkness of the past and acts as a beacon of hope in a future looming with war. Together, they risk their lives to intervene in the forces of evil that threaten the peace. But the price for peace is dear, and soon an impossible decision must be made. At the end of the impossible, what will remain? *** "I'm not concerned about making you feel less embarrassed. I'm trying to understand you, Ryn." He said curtly. "I want to know you." He added, holding my eyes with softness that I couldn't hear in his tone. "Well, I don't want to be known." I said in growing hostility. "You should have left me in my room." He pulled his hands from his pockets and grabbed fists full of fabric, forcing my body against his. Everything within me hummed, and I felt the shadows of his energy casting over mine. "Is that really what you want? To be strangers." He questioned lowly. His fists uncoiled from the fabric and trailed up, resting on my shoulders, thumbs pressed gently to the column of my neck. ***
Welcome
