Mountain Man's Rival

Archenemy (n.)
1) main enemy
2) the devil
3) Declan Wilde

Declan was my brother's best friend.
I wanted him to be my first.
And my happily ever after.

It turned out cold-hearted b*stard
was a more fitting description.

Now, fifteen years later, the devil himself shows up unannounced at my charity auction.

The hairs on my neck rise up.

"Declan? What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

"Eva. There's something I need to tell you. It can't wait."

Years ago Declan made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he has the nerve to show up unwelcomed. I'm much stronger - and this time there's zero chance I'll let him win. Game on.
