If she hadn’t spoken, I would be dead or dishonored.

Remembering, he vowed never again to believe the slander others cast upon her. In his heart, Fiona had become a talisman of luck. The thought pulled a spontaneous smile to his lips.

“Commander Callum, what, pray tell, is so amusing?” Alexander asked, his icy glance cutting through the tent like a drawn blade.
