Overall this was a good story with a lot of emotion packed into it.  It's novella length and I did pick it up for free, but I would've gladly paid money for it.  The brute, Reese, is basically forced to marry the heroine and he's none too happy about it.  He treats her coldly while the rest of his household accepts her, with the exception of his brother who would be happy to see her dead.  Jayce doesn't take his verbal abuses lying down, and Reese is tortured by the guilt his own actions cause, even though he feels she doesn't deserve any kindness.  When tradegy strikes, Jayce gets a glimpse of his gentle side and begins to hope for a real marriage.  Right before the explosive ending, we find out the circumstances surrounding this forced marriage were not what they seemed.  I wasn't thrown off by the ending between the hero and heroine - I thought there was enough closure there - but by the fact that they aren't privy to the truth surrounding their forced marriage even though the reader is.
