“Calm down. It’ll heal quick enough, I’m sure.”
“Heal? I’m hideous!”
“You’re alive.”
“Hideously alive!” He covered her face with his hands. “Don’t look at me! Look away!”

“Fearghus entered what he now considered her chamber, but immediately ducked the book flung at his head. Clearly she’d been waiting for him. And she was not happy.

“Did you just throw a book at me? In my own den?”

burst out of the woods. “This is Annwyl?” Ragnar looked the woman over, from her absurdly large feet
