Castle of Secrets
“Now that she was no longer afraid of him, Helena felt herself relax in his company.
There was a softer side to him, one she had only glimpsed, but one she would like to know better.
But that was unlikely, she told herself. She would have no reason to remain at the castle once she had found her aunt.

She licked her lips, and found that she could taste it.MoreLess
