Guinevere never anticipated traveling across the country to prove her father's innocence. But when a mercenary shows up in her home, claiming that he was responsible for a murder that occurred fifteen years ago, she must do exactly that.
She also never anticipated falling in love with her father's accuser.
Unfortunately for her, she finds herself starting to care for the mercenary, especially as the mysterious man begins to open up to her. With every new thing she learns about him, she finds herself wanting more, despite the looming threat of her death dangling between them.
Unbeknownst to her, the one secret that he refuses to share with her could cause the relationship building between them to collapse.
