溫柔的折磨

凡事都有正義──但譚海斯真的只為了伸張正義，求取一些公平嗎？

他綁架她，且將她囚禁在蒙大那州農莊裡的目的，只是為了看她受折磨嗎？

然而，這對康雪貝又何嘗公平呢？為了她所犯的「罪」，她早已吃盡了苦頭。

當年才是小女孩的她，如何才能解釋她何以謊報年齡…以及她又是如何被迫在法庭上說了謊？她怎麼知道為了那難忘的一夜銷魂，海斯竟然得付出那麼殘酷的代價？

七年來，雪貝的日子在痛苦、歉疚和渴望中度過。如今海斯已近在咫尺，可是苦澀的回憶卻使他們無法接近。

他將她抓來，未經聽訴就判了她的刑…卻未發覺他只是讓兩個人一起接受那「溫柔的折磨」。

Shotgun justice-- was that what Heath Tanner wanted? Had he kidnapped her and imprisoned her on his Montana ranch because he wanted to watch her suffer?

Was it fair? Shelby Constantine had already paid for her "crime." Just a girl, could she have explained why she'd lied about her age... how she'd been forced to lie in court? How could she have known how brutally Heath would be punished for that one night of unforgettable passion? Seven years. Shelby had paid in pain and guilt and longing. And now Heath was so near, yet bitterness kept them so far apart. He'd caught her, judged her guilty without a. hearing... unaware that he'd sentenced them both to tender torment.
