"So just like that. You're leaving?" For the first time ever, Ash doesn't appear to have all his thoughts controlled around me. He takes several steps forward, eyebrows twisted in worry. 

My heart strikes my chest hard at his sudden closeness. He's crossing a line. He's never shown this kind of favour for me. 

"I can't refuse my Father's wishes," I say, tilting my head upwards to meet his stare. Tonight, his usually clear green eyes smolder with something intense. They scream at me but I tell myself I'm imagining it. 

"I don't want you to go." Ash's voice is like a whisper as he reveals an ounce of vulnerability.

But truly, he's the brave one between us. I could never admit our undeniable attraction. The thought of giving in is intoxicating. So much so, my chest suddenly feels heavy and haggard. I could never handle him. I'm afraid and a coward. 

"You're a slave Ash," I remind him. And before I'm tempted to see the look on his face, I turn away quickly.

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
