Excerpt
"What the hell is wrong?" he demanded aggressively as soon as he got her to a private corner, out at the back gardens. Anna couldn't withhold the whimper that escaped her lips. His face visibly flinched at that. With a muffled oath he couldn’t quite hold back, Rafe turned away before trying again in calmer tones. “I want to help. Tell me.”
