RETURN TO ME
by Melissa MacKinnon

Brynn, the daughter of an Engel earl, has the perfect life - brothers who adore her, a gown for every occasion, and a handsome soldier who has asked for her hand in marriage.  Things couldn’t look more promising.  But on the eve of her engagement, her world is shattered.

When Marek, an Archaean bounty hunter, enters the manor of a warring earl, his only concern is for his gravely wounded brother.  An enchanting slave girl tends his brother’s wounds, leaving Marek enthralled by her spirit and beauty.  He inadvertently finds himself in a compromising position with the girl, and refusing to let her pay for a simple misunderstanding with her life, he rescues her from her father's wrath, losing his heart in the process.

Neither can deny their desire for one another, but betrayal and circumstance keep them apart.  Brynn belongs to another, while Marek must find and slay his own demons.  In a time of war and turmoil, how can Marek uphold his honor while choosing the correct path of his destiny?  Furthermore, can Brynn escape death and save the life of the one she loves?
