- Synopsis

You met Colleen in Jason Evans’ debut novel, the Gallowglass. Young, sensuous, and determined to rise above her place, Colleen used her beauty for her own ends. In this novella, learn how Colleen turned into the vixen who breaks men’s hearts. 

As a young woman unfamiliar with the expectations of men she sees how they look at her now. But with her father widowed and her grandmother bitter with age, Colleen has no one to talk to about what she should do when she attracts their gaze.

On one hand there is the kindly Anglican priest, fresh from England. He is warm and sincere. Collen feels safe in his company. He speaks softly and acts gently. But she can tell he wants her, no matter how upright or courteous he acts. Can she trust him?

On the other hand is Lady Roche. A wordly woman with a wicked reputation for carnal desires and even murder, if the stories are true. But she too, is kind to Colleen. When Roche speaks, her words are hard like steel. Everyone, including her own family, warn Colleen to stay away. Can she? Should she? 

One day Colleen’s world comes crashing down around her and she is forced to make a choice. Love or Revenge? 

Discover her choice in Colleen.
