You’re a fool to underestimate me.
I do more than just run numbers.

There’s nothing I won’t do for her.

Touch what’s mine, and you won’t live to regret it.
She’s more than I knew I wanted and everything I need.
She’s light where I’m darkness.
She’s kind where I’m ruthless.
My pleasure comes from her pleasure, and I’ll give her more than she imagined.
There’s no one and nothing more important than her.

The English Lord:
On his return trip from the borderlands, Lord Robin Blake sees bandits attacking a young woman in the snow. He comes to her aid and fights off the ruffians, but not before he is wounded. To make matters worse, he is thrown from his horse and breaks through the ice. From underwater, he sees the silhouette of an angel in a flurry of snow. It is the woman he's helped, now coming to assist him.
She tells him her name is Sage and takes him to a nearby monastery where she works as a healer. Her expertise at healing doesn't go unnoticed, but Robin also sees something else. Sage is not only heartbroken about something, but also shaken, and frightened for her life. He decides she is hiding at the monastery, staying there for sanctuary from whoever it is who wants to hurt or kill her. It is close to Christmas and Connor decides he'd like to take her back to the castle for the holiday to spend time with her and to protect her while he tries to learn her secret.
