When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Love in the Time of Skepticism

Jonathan knew all too well that if he had shown his true nature in front of Sierra from the beginning, she would never have considered being with him; not even giving it a try would have been a possibility,
