Bliss continued shaking her head, though not because he insisted on escorting her home. “I must tell you something.”

“I'll listen as we walk.”

He reached for her hand and closed his fingers firmly around hers. Bliss could not help but think how his innocent gesture sealed what Fate had decreed.

She tugged at his hand when he went to walk, forcing him to stay put. With a more adamant tone, she said, “We are husband and wife.”

He nodded, appearing not at all upset by her resolute words, and clearly not understanding what she was trying to convey to him.

“Aye, we should continue to appear so in case other soldiers approach us.”

She shook her head a bit too frantically, worried that he would fail to understand the truth. She poked his chest repeatedly, hoping to make him pay closer attention. “You”âshe tapped her chestâ“and I are wed. We are truly husband and wife.”

About the Author

Part of the fun in writing, DONNA FLETCHER
admits, is doing the research. But it is with her characters that she has the
most fun. She loves giving life to fresh characters and feels their excitement
as they face the pleasures and pitfalls of falling in love.

Donna's own adventures have taken her to
England, Ireland, and Scotland. She has walked the fields where battles were
fought centuries ago, toured haunted castles, stood where beheadings were
commonplace, explored the mystic mounds of long ago, and collected a plethora of
memories and research that will live long in her heart and mind. She also loves
exploring and photographing old abandoned homes, and she often takes long walks
in the woods with camera in hand. She feels her life is rich and full, having
three terrific sons, two fantastic daughters-in-law, an endless supply of
friends, a loving dog, and a crazy, black, one-eyed cat named Bear.
