The Earl’s Bride

Category: Romance

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

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

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

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

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