Tender the Storm

Rose Fay

Story Summary:
Dark, consuming fires drove Draco Malfoy far from his tarnished past – and from the fiery young girl that had once dared him to believe in the power of love. But when he returns home years later, that laughing, careless girl he had once known was no more. In her place was a beautiful, courageous woman that forced him to choose between passion and pride, honor and desire. But how could Draco give up the one woman who could redeem him – and conquer his scarred devil’s heart with a tenderness he had never known?
