Now my time is up.Tomorrow, the man I promised to marry will arrive and everything I've built will come crumbling down. He expects my willing submission and rightfully so. It is what I have vowed.My heart however...After weeks of secret nights and promises not to get attached, I don't want to walk away. When he learns the truth, however, I'll have no other choice. I slept with the enemy and enemies never forgive or forget.My name is Catherine Novaline Cullotta and I am about to be sacrificed to the mob.
