A Knight on the Rocks by Alix Nichols

When the royal palace was burning, I rushed in.
That’s how I became Sir Darrel Vlovsky, knighted for my heroics.
Alas, a helicopter crash over the French Alps ended my bodyguard career at thirty-eight.
I pray the others survived and completed the mission!
It’s killing me that I can’t help them… can’t serve my country anymore…
A psycho couple from a nearby village rescued me and locked me in their basement.
My broken body is healing. But I loathe my captors’ grotesque secret cult.

My only ray of light is their daughter Stella.
She sneaks in when she can—chaste, troubled, engaged to some brat.
Forbidden.
Irresistible.
In my old life, her tender age of twenty-two would’ve been a nonstarter.
But here… All I know is that her parents will never let me leave.
I, Sir Darrel Vlovsky, am a death row inmate.
