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 canโt look away. Even when her father roughly jostles her out of sight, claiming sheโd made a wrong turn.
He should leave well enough alone, but those desperate eyes haunt him. And heโs never been one to turn his back on someone in trouble, especially the most beautiful lass heโs ever seen.
He just never imagined itโd be his life in jeopardy, and his heart that needs saving.
