Chapter 1

 

'Sofia can you not see him? Lord Kane Maxwell is the tall one over to your right, he is walking away from the other men to speak with his father.' My mother inclined her head, as she resisted pointing with her finger straight ahead as I knew she would have preferred to do, to focus my attentions on the figure she had picked out for me.

'Yes, I can see him mother...Kane, he is not what I was expecting,' I admitted as I struggled to speak further but just continued to watch on with increased interest at the tall powerfully built man in the distance.

I found my eyes widening of their own accord as I took in his bronzed, naked muscled torso, as well as his strong arms and hands holding on to a long, broad sword. If only he would now turn around, I thought eagerly to myself so I could get a good look at his face. I would then be able to get a better clue about the man who would be my future husband in a matter of three days.

'I told you, Sofia, that I would secure you a good match, he is a far cry from the old but wealthy Lord you were probably expecting me to lumber you with.'
