    Summary

    Two things lay on the small kitchen table in front of Audrey. One was the handful of shillings that she had left to keep her family on for the foreseeable future. The other was an advertisement in the Scarborough Times: a daily housekeeper position at Skeldale House, the veterinary surgery on the outskirts of town.

    A story of two very different marriages, and what happens after them.

    Summary

    Margaret Thornton is walking through the mill yard on a regular visit to her husband’s office. She is struck in the head by a falling wooden beam and knocked unconscious. She wakes up…and thinks it is the day of the riot, over two years ago. With no memory of their reconciliation and marriage, can Margaret learn to love Mr. Thornton again?

    Rated E for only Chapter 9, which you can choose to skip if that's not your cup of tea!

    Summary


    Margaret is lost on the hill but who will search all through the night until he finds her? Yes, her one-time suitor, John Thornton, who would still lay down his cloak for her, or indeed his life. She’s hurt and can’t walk so he has to carry her to safety – and there’s a convenient shepherd’s hut hidden in the woods, shrouded in mist and fog - what are the odds!
