Where Power Resides | Otto Hightower

One night at the Red Keep, a lowborn woman is left outside the gates, beaten and bruised, a message carved into her skin. The message is for Otto Hightower, a man who has been trying desperately to keep a secret from making its way around the Keep and to his family. The secret? He had been secretly meeting up with this woman for quite some time now. And people were about to start finding out about it.

Elaine was sent to Otto by pure chance. She has her reasons for working in a brothel, reasons that to her amazement, Otto understood. She expected to fear the man, but found they shared more common ground than she would have ever thought possible.

Eventually, the scandal breaks out. Throughout the story, Otto must make some hard decisions about his career, the woman he's grown to care about, and what is most important to him.
