ログイン* Adrienne wakes in 1513 Scotland — trapped in the body of Janet Comyn, a woman whose life is controlled by her cruel father, Red Comyn. Forced to play a role she never asked for, Adrienne must navigate a deadly world of power, obedience, and deception, or risk losing everything. * Sidhawk “Hawk” Douglas, the legendary warrior of Dalkeith-Upon-the-Sea, is as commanding as he is feared. Fierce, honorable, and unmatched in skill, Hawk becomes Adrienne’s shield, her challenge, and the only man she can trust. Possessive, cunning, and loyal, he faces treachery, assassination attempts, and enemies from both human and supernatural worlds. Their mutual tension ignites into trust, desire, and passionate love — a bond tested by danger, deception, and the deadly secrets surrounding Adrienne’s identity. * Adam Black, handsome and confident, is no ordinary smithy. A fairy in human guise, he manipulates events at the command of the jealous fairy king Finnbheara, stirs conflict, and provokes Hawk’s jealousy. Adrienne uses him to taunt her husband — but her heart belongs only to the man she married by proxy. In a world of magic, intrigue, and deadly schemes, Adrienne must survive, protect her freedom, and navigate the irresistible pull of the legendary Hawk.
もっと見るAdrienne sat up with a start when she heard the Hawk throw open the door to her chamber. She had been imagining the sweet seduction he had in store for her and had to use all her composure to hide her excitement at his return."Oh, you're back," she drawled, hoping she had suc-ceeded in masking her delight.He crossed the room in two awesome strides, took her in his arms, and frowned darkly down at her. He lowered his head inexorably toward her lips, and she turned her face away. Undeterred, he grazed her neck with his teeth until he reached the base where her traitorous pulse beat raggedly. Her breath caught in her throat as he nipped her and ran his tongue up the column of her neck. If his very nearness made her shiver, his kisses would be her complete undoing. His rough shadow beard chafed her skin when he tugged her head back and gently nipped the lobe of her ear. Adri-enne sighed her pleasure, then added a little squeal of protest just to be convincing."You will forget the smith
SHE STOPPED SCREAMING ONLY WHEN HER VOICE GAVE OUT.Stupid, she told herself. What did that accomplish? Not a thing. You're trussed up like a chicken about to be plucked and now you can't even peep a protest."Just take the hood off, Hawk," she begged in a gravelly whisper. "Please?""Rule number nine. My name from this moment forward is Sidheach. Sidheach, not Hawk. When you use it, you will be rewarded. When you don't, I will permit no quarter.""Why do you want me to use that name?""So I know you understand who I really am. Not the leg-endary Hawk. The man. Sidheach James Lyon Douglas. Your husband.""Who first called you Hawk?" she asked hoarsely.He stifled a swift oath and she felt his fingers at her throat. "Who first called me Hawk doesn't make the differ-ence. Everyone did. But 'twas all the king ever called me,"he gritted. He didn't add that in all his life he had never given a lass leave to call him Sidheach. Not one.He untied the hood and lifted it from her face, then p
His beautiful lips contorted in a bitter smile. "Aye, I'm quite aware that you thought I was in Uster, wife." His brogue rasped thickly, betraying the extent of his rage."Well, I don't see why you're so angry with me! You're the one who's had nine million mistresses, and you're the one who left without saying goodbye, and you're the one who wouldn't-""What's good for the gander is not necessarily good for the goose," he snarled. He twined his hand in her hair and yanked her back sharply, baring the pale arch of her throat. "Neither in spirit consumption nor in lovers, wife.""What?" He wasn't making any sense, talking about farm animals when she was trying to have a reasonably sober conversation with him. She gasped when he bit her gently at the base of her neck where her pulse pounded er-ratically. If she couldn't handle this man sober, she cer-tainly couldn't handle him tipsy.With excruciating leisure, he traced his tongue down her neck and across the upper curves of her breasts.
Adrienne seemed to sink deeper and deeper into a murky sea that made her want to curl up and pull into herself."Adam. Say it, Beauty. Cry for me."Where was the Hawk when she needed him? "H-h-hawk," she whispered against Adam's punishing mouth.Enraged, Adam forced her head back until she met his furious gaze. As Adrienne watched, Adam's dark features seemed to shimmer strangely, changing... but that wasn't possible, she assured herself. Adam's dark eyes suddenly seemed to have the Hawk's flecks of gold, Adam's lower lip suddenly curved in Hawk's sensual invitation."Is this what I must do to have you, Beauty?" Adam asked bitterly.Adrienne stared in horrified fascination. Adam's face was melting and redefining, and he looked more like her husband with every passing instant."Must I resort to such artifice? Is it the only way you'll have me?"Adrienne extended a shaking hand to touch his oddly morphing face. "A-adam, s-stop it!""Does this make you burn, Beauty? If I wear his face, h
