Falcon's Heart

SAVED BY A THROW OF THE DICE

Rescue from kidnap by a commanding stranger brought Marianne of Faucon the spice and excitement for which her restless heart yearned. She wanted to tumble into love as her brothers had done, but there was danger in surrendering to desire.

Because Bryce of Ashforde was looking to destroy the Faucon family, and the innocent, headstrong, tempting Marianne had just become his means of revenge….

Returning from court to find his Devon keep in smoldering ruins and his men vanished, he blamed the devastation on a raptor etched into an abandoned blade. He meant to trade the captured sister for retribution, but there was folly in expecting a pliant hostage.

Armed with a hidden dagger and reckless pride, Marianne defied his high-handed commands at every turn. Bryce vowed to keep his icy resolve intact, but holding the bold beauty against his chest was madness.

Yet as danger pursued them through the Hampshire woods, sworn vengeance collided with a hunger neither could control.
