A political marriage to the young brother of the famous General Barry, a leader known for his ruthless brutality, is the last thing nineteen year-old Bianca Mason wants. But an alliance with these men will keep her father’s citizens safe from the endless Barry raids and be another step toward the return of modern civilization. Unfortunately, Bianca puts the entire treaty in jeopardy when she confesses a traumatic personal secret to her intended groom, and he refuses the marriage. Desperate to keep the peace, she gratefully accepts when another brother steps in to take his place.
Kent, the other Barry brother, is known for his strong leadership ability, fair treatment of his troops, and brilliant military strategy. He is also a known for his burn-scarred face and his reputation as a sadist. When confronted with the disintegration of a much-needed treaty, he grudgingly steps in and marries Bianca, a girl traumatized by long-ago assault who doesn’t like to be touched.
Kent must teach Bianca, as only he can, how to surrender herself fully, trust in him completely, and become the woman he needs. Only then can they both find happiness.
This dark romance novel contains mature situations and sensitive subject matter, and contains triggers some readers may find discomforting. It is a work of fiction and is intended for adult readers 18 and older.
What an amazing novel i read it in one night and i couldnt put it down i stayed up until i finished. I will be honest i cried through most of this book. It is a heart wrenching sad book.
Through most of it I just wanted her to take gun to Kent's head. He is the most infuriating character. What he puts her through even though he didnt know it was happening is just aweful.
Bianca is the most resiliant amazing character. There are just no words for all the things she has been put through.
If you are sensitive to bdsm, rape and torture situation I suggest caution as it is full of all of these things.
Its a massively riveting love story starting from an arranged marriage ending in the most intriguing love story ever.
5 stars
