Falcon's Honor

Falcon's Honor
Denise Lynn

AGAINST HER WILL, SHE WOULD BE MARRIED TO THE DEVIL'S OWN SPAWNTruly, Rhian of Gervaise should despise the knight who would deliver her to a terrifying future. But the more perilous their journey became, the deeper grew her longing for Gareth of Faucon, honor bound to surrender her to fate, but soul-sworn to cherish her as the bride of his heart!Dark powers wanted the Lady of Gervaise dead. Indeed, the enigmatic beauty was possessed of secrets as mysterious as the jeweled pendant she warmed against her heart. But Gareth would do whatever he could to protect her. For destiny deemed he had no other choice!

“What will I do to protect myself?”

“You?” He looked at her in surprise. “You set out through a dark forest alone to escape me. A feat that could very well have earned you death, or worse.”

Rhian felt the heat of embarrassment on her cheeks. “I fail to think when I am angry.”

“No. Truly?” He rubbed his forearm, bringing more heat to her face. “I find that hard to believe.”

“If your sarcasm were any thicker, you’d drown in it.”

“And if your nails were any longer, I’d have bled to death.”

“A strong warrior like you? I doubt that.”

He tapped a hand against his chest. “Ah, she thinks I am a strong warrior. My heart will burst at your kind words. I could take that as a compliment.”

“Take it as you wish.” Rhian sat up. “You will release me?”

“Not while I draw breath…!”
