Marti Talbott's Highlander Series, Book 1

"He threatened to kill you if I did not marry Kevin, so I did," Anna was saying. "But we didn't know where you were. The King's men finally found you, locked in a closet."

"Then that is the dark place I remember," Rachel said. Finally knowing seemed to ease her troubled mind.

"After they found you, Kevin brought the two of you here, but...but we could not stay even though I was Kevin's wife. After the torment I caused Mother, there was nothing I would not do to make up for it, and she wanted to leave."

"If she wants, would you leave even now?" Rachel asked.

"Aye, even now."

"Then I will go too."
