She was fighting a losing battle. Kel had been in more than enough fights since she'd become a Knight to know that she didn't have a hope of winning.
Just when she thought she'd built her defences up to be impregnable. Just when she thought she had adequately prepared herself; that she had nothing to fear. She was sucker-punched. She didn't know what happened. She had no experience in this kind of battle. Nothing she'd learnt in all the years since she'd become page had prepared her for this onslaught.
With one simple innocent kiss, on Midwinter's eve – Wyldon had broken through all her defences. He'd done more than simply break through. He'd torn her walls down and smashed them into rubble. She couldn't hide any longer. She was in love with Lord Wyldon of Cavall.
