“You worthless harlot!”

The shout matched the pain racing through her skull. She tried to escape. There was no escape. Raising her hands, she knew she had made a great mistake. The blows fell upon her like a tempest until she shrank to the floor.

“Lisabeth?”

She dared not look up. That would start the torture anew.

“Lisabeth?”

Through the agony in her head, she realized it was not Frederick’s voice. Another man’s voice. A gentle voice that promised … she was not sure what it promised, but it must be better than what she knew now.

She raised her head and blinked. She was lying in her bed in the room where she now slept alone, but she was not alone. A shadow slipped across her bed, its darkness a comfort instead of fearsome.

A hand covered hers. A strong, smooth hand. Radcliffe’s hand.

“Do not be frightened,” he murmured. “Forget the past.”

She wanted to answer, but sleep took her again. This time, for the first time since she had discovered the truth behind the lies of vows of love, honor, and cherish, her dreams were sweet, not bitter.
