Conor (Blood and Thunder 5)

With white-hot revenge Karolinas thoughts on marriage didnt count. She was a woman like any other trapped in her fathers web, to be used as payment, a bartering chip, or a honeytrap according to his whim. Karolina Karolides lost her innocence the night her mother was pushed out of a helicopter above a featureless ocean by Karolinas father, a merciless slaver. When a woman outlives her usefulness, shes disposed of, demoted, or sold on. Karolinas fate is to be offered as bride to Irish hardman Conor Murphy in exchange for some polo ponies and a promise of untold wealth. Since her mothers death, freeing her fathers captives and exposing the extent of his unimaginable crimes has been Karolinas goal. Is Conor Murphy a convenient escape route from imprisonment at the embassy, allowing Karolina to pursue her revenge, or does Conor have an agenda of his own? How hard can it be to resist a man with the black-hearted charisma of Conor Murphy? Surely, she only has to play-act the part of bride? A man with such blistering good looks cant possibly be interested in the physical side of marriage with a plump innocent with attitude. Can he?
