'A wanton, that's what she'd been, a sinful wanton who'd willingly enjoyed coupling w/ Henri's killer--what else could she think of herself?' ....FFS. It's pretty damn obvious he didn't kill Henri, so can we skip this back-and-forth desire/loathing waffle?? It's been going on since forever & it's just NOT NECESSARY. Do the fuckin reveal, already.

He'd wanted to punish her for her escape attempt, to let her know that he could do what he wished to do since she was his prisoner.

'Her life depended on him, & dependence was something she related to very well. All of her life she'd depended upon someone else, first her parents & then later Henri & his family. She'd been raised to be dependent, though she longed to be free & do whatever she liked. But defying the barbarian Saxon at such a time as this would be very unwise.'

Well, that was an unexpected turn of events. Hero becomes heroine's slave. I'll see how long that lasts.

I told myself I wouldn't begin a new book today, but I can't help it.
