(MAN/MAN)/(PREVIEW ONLY)

His friends call him Toby.  He's grown taller, firm, as handsome as everyone had expected.  The man's dark eyes are open and honest when he speaks to the elders at church but wicked when night falls and he stumbles into his house, half boozed out of mind. 

I don't know what had broken the Tobias from my childhood, the boy from behind the rose bushes that I'd held in such high regard.  I suppose he could have been that way from the start.  No one seems to notice it, the anger that storms behind the slate eyes.  

No one wants to take hold of his roots and check his petals for bruising.

Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends. After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she. Content warning: This story contains a mild amount of violence and kidnapping... along with plenty of falling in love.
