A runaway daughter, seeking escape from abusive hands.
A journeyman tanner willing to risk safety to aid her.
When Jarek steps into the alley to toss out the trash, he finds Erron and canât look away. Even when her father roughly jostles her out of sight, claiming sheâd made a wrong turn.
He should leave well enough alone, but those desperate eyes haunt him. And heâs never been one to turn his back on someone in trouble, especially the most beautiful lass heâs ever seen.
He just never imagined itâd be his life in jeopardy, and his heart that needs saving.
