EXCERPT:
Walking into the restroom, I find Andy still hugging the toilet. Sighing, I sit next to him. I give him the water and Tylenol to take. After he's swallowed his medicine, I stand to go back to bed.
I suddenly feel a hand wrap around my wrist forcing me to a stop. "Baby, don't leave me again," turning to him I see Andy with tears in his drunken eyes. "I can't take seeing you walk away from me day after day."
A small sob escapes his throat and I feel myself start to cry. "I'm sorry, Andy. I just can't be hurt anymore."
"Please, just let me stay with you tonight," he whispers. He looks at me desperately, I can't bear to say no.
Nodding I say, "Okay. But brush your teeth you dip, your breath smells horrible." Smiling, he nods. "Oh, and Andy," I add, "wear pants." Once again he nods, this time laughing a little bit. "I'll be in my room."
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.
