Highland Temptation (2016)
“You will hurt him, eventually.
You will fail him.
You will bring him down.
It was the voice of her father in her head, the voice that had tried, again and again, to destroy her. To minimize her until she had nothing left. Until she was nothing but a weak shadow of a woman.
But that wasn’t the man kneeling before her. This man had brought her back to life, had reminded her she was more than a cowering little girl. This man had made her, for the first time in her life, believe she was a strong, c...apable woman.
And, she realized, he would always support her like that. He’d always encourage the fierceness that flickered inside her. The strength that others might try to beat down.
She pushed away that nagging voice of doubt and gazed at him, tightly squeezing his hands. Despite the risk, there was only one correct answer to his question. Only one that would bring her happiness.
“Yes, Colin. I will marry you.”
“Oh thank God,” he gritted out. He yanked her off the chair and brought her into his arms, kissing her so thoroughly she forgot all her doubts.MoreLess
