Suspicion by Felicity Brandon

Her father’s debt forced them together,
Death might be her only way out.

Ella
I awake abandoned in the forest,
Afraid and alone.
But that’s only the beginning.
A dark stranger arrives,
To take possession of me.
To make me his.
Or, so he thinks.
Tucker Bowman knows the wilderness,
But he doesn’t know me.
A monster dressed as a man,
He will never have my heart.

Tucker
Alexander Bennett owes me.
But with no money,
And even less morality,
The coward offers his only daughter as collateral.
I don’t want a woman ruining my peace,
But I won’t let him slither out of his obligations.
A debt must always be paid.
So that makes Ella mine.
