Jack

Two months earlier, Fulham Road,

Chelsea London, UK

After his last, particularly disturbing tour of duty in Syria, he had returned home to this beautiful, sexy, intelligent woman named Mara, a creature who had lured him into her lair. She sat with him whilst he repaired mentally from the pain, torture, and death. Grateful for her care he had agreed to marry her one crazy, heady weekend in Paris, where she had whisked him away for a Valentine’s Day surprise. Mara always got what she wanted.
