The Earl’s Bride

Category: Romance

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The end.
