"Just do it" I whispered as I placed the rusty blade on Yun-Ho's slender fingers.

"I can't" he replied, "I don't want you to suffer anymore." Yun-Ho reached out and carefully traced the scar that began at my forehead and ended by my ear.

With her tainted reputation, can Belinda make Town Guard McKenzie Haverston help her in her pursuit of the truth? *** After her banishment five years ago, Belinda Carrington returns with secrets and tales too impossible to believe. But something in her lies makes McKenzie Haverston desperate for the truth... When Belinda shows up in McKenzie's home asking for protection in return for important information on a case he's working on, he rejects her. But when he learns where she had been banished after her great scandal five years ago, he finds himself striking a deal with the woman-he protects her, she gives him answers.
