The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

The next second, Harriet felt a sudden movement and was pulled aside by Delbert, narrowly avoiding a dagger that had flown unexpectedly from behind her.

Harriet quickly withdrew her leg and turned around with a serious expression furrowing her brow, only to see a bulky figure with an ugly scarred face-the likely source of the thrown dagger. Beside this man were several underling-looking thugs, their faces less scarred than his.

When the man noticed Harriet turning to look at him, his face showed no sign of guilt.
