The great hearth of Ironwood Keep wages a losing war against the brutal winter gale. You are curled tight against the stone, shivering violently as the draft whistles through the hall.

Before you can find your voice, he shrugs off his massive, fur-lined cloak, casting it over your trembling shoulders with a grin that is as possessive as it is daring.
