Sky, Penelope. Betrothed #8

"Why did I let her go? I can't answer that. How do you expect me to answer that when I don't even know? I'm the skull king. I never let anyone go. When I see her at the bar six weeks later, she's still the feisty handful that I remember. She owns the room in that tight dress and that fire. Now that she's not dirty in a locked cage...she's stunning. She cleans up good. I decide to say hello...and see what happens." -- pate [4] of cover
