Authors: Margaret Tanner
A Mortal Sin (24 page)
“How could you ask? If you were legless it wouldn’t make any difference to me. Even when I thought you were dead, I never stopped loving you.”
“I never forgot you either. I only agreed to marry Caroline because my father always wanted it. She didn’t love me. Hell, she didn’t even like me after I wrote that letter breaking off our engagement. But I didn’t care what happened to me. I was a living, breathing, empty shell.”
They stood beneath a huge oak. “Daphne I didn’t want to live when I thought you were dead.”
Their lips were desperate as they kissed each other with a fierce hunger, oblivious to the thrushes fluttering around them. There was so much lost time and heartache to make up for, but a lifetime together in which to do it.

About the Author
Margaret Tanner is a multi-published Australian author. She loves delving into the pages of history as she carries out research for her historical romance novels, and prides herself on being historically accurate. No book is too old or tattered for her to trawl through, no museum too dusty, or cemetery too overgrown. Many of her novels have been inspired by true events, with one being written around the hardships and triumphs of her pioneering ancestors in frontier Australia.
As part of her research she has visited the World War 1 battlefields in France and Belgium, a truly poignant experience.
Margaret is a member of the Romance Writers of Australia, the Melbourne Romance Writers Group (MRWG) and EPIC. She won the 2007 and 2009 Author of the Year at AussieAuthors.com. Her novel Frontier Wife won the Best Historical Romance Novel at the 2010 Readers Favorite Award, and another novel, Wild Oats was a 2011 Finalist in the EPIC awards. Margaret is married with three grown up sons, and a gorgeous little granddaughter. Outside of her family and friends, writing is her passion.
