Hi Maria!
Thanks for replying to me and for all the helpful info. I would love it if you could paste a link to the forums you mentioned here. I read Seven Years to Sin and now I'm quickly making my way through Sylvia's entire répertoire. No one writes erotic romance like her! It's smart, witty and sexy as ######!
I have exciting news! I tweeted Sylvia my question and she was good enough to send me this response:
"Because her past is why she has triggers & he doesn't want to become a trigger for her or inadvertantly set her off some way."
I found this answer to be very comforting as it turned my blood cold to read Gideon was afraid of her past. Now I understand he was just worried about her. God, I love that man!
