The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 51

Nancy glared at Judson, who was leaning against the doorframe. She was clearly not happy. "Just back off!"

She had intended to offer Judson shelter for the night, but he had crossed the line, roughing up Orlando the way he did.
