She decides to run away, though she never dreams that Rhys will pursue her.She does not expect this taciturn man to woo her with fanciful stories, much less that each of his enthralling tales will reveal a scar upon his shielded soul.

She dares to believe him innocent—and risks her own life to pursue a passion more priceless than the rarest gem.
