She won't let him get a penny of her fortune...
'You want a will drawing up, one that says everything is left to your current unborn babe upon your death and not to Mr Tyrrell, your betrothed?'
Henrietta is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or to put it another way, the King and Roman. She still can't be sure she can trust her betrothed but knows she can't trust herself not to fall into bed with him the moment he beckons. And with her wedding plans dismissed, learning some hard truths about Jensen, and Roman doing exactly what she asked of him, she's ready to kill someone. Or leave the country and never return!
He only wants her...
She canted her neck slightly, giving in with a little wanton sigh to the kisses he peppered along her throat. This was heaven, this was home.
Roman Tyrrell has everything he ever dreamt of with Henrietta as his betrothed. Everything except her heart. Henrietta refuses to bridge that gap between friend and lover, despite the desire he sees burning in her gaze. He has to prove to her that he doesn't just want her body but her heart and soul, and to give his in return. Standing at her side against the King is one thing, but can he go against the man alone?
