One hundred and thirty

Talia's POV:

Staring up at my husband, I fought the urge to back away. I shouldn't have let Nicholas see my reaction to my new name, but I had been enjoying the shooting session—and Nicholas's company—so much that I.had forgotten the reality of my new situation. Hearing 'Mrs. Robert fall from Zack's lips startled me, bringing back that disconcerting feeling of lost identity, and, for a moment, I had been unable to hide my dismay.

That moment was all it took to transform Nicholas from a laughing, teasing companion to the terrifying, unpredictable man who first brought me to his island.
