title: Trials of War
author: Pope, Victoria
description: Ellie had survived the heartbreaking treachery she faced in that fishing warehouse in Glasgow. But the naïve, spoiled American princess she once was had died, leaving her bitter and utterly alone. Troy, her dark protector, was forced to stay away, to live a lie he could not swallow until fate put her back in his care. Could she forgive him for all his lies, for abandoning her at her time of need? Could he forgive himself for not being there when she was left all alone to die? And most of all, would he be able to protect her long enough to sort their differences and face their feelings before the gang war her family started showed up at her front door? This is the steamy conclusion of Troy and Ellie, two people thrust together by destiny, and torn apart by family.
