She had gotten drugged. On the brink of losing consciousness and getting violated by another man against her will, the city’s most chaste man swoops her away from danger’s deadly clutches.

Chapter 1 Matthew Tyson

He splashed Clarissa’s feverish body with cold water, waking her up from a moment of stupor.
She looked up to see the man whom she had latched on to standing right in front of her.
