Compassion and loyalty, two endearing qualities, but they had brought Gerda to heartbreak and almost wrecked her chance of ever finding happiness. Compassion had led her into a brief and tragic marriage, and had sacrificed her integrity in the eyes of the one man she really loved.
Three years later she was a widow, and loyalty to her employers had forced her back under the power of this one man who could destroy her. Loyalty of another sort had made Gerda give entirely the wrong impression of herself, an impression that Jordan Black had not forgotten.
Yet he was the man she loved as much as he despised her, and he was a man without mercy.
