Perhaps, if we are lucky, you will use this as the outline for a full length novel in the future once the Marstone series is completed? I so enjoyed our heroine, tramping through the fields, wishing for a hero yet her hero turned out to be so - average. I think she has found her soul mate in Sir Walter though. A very satisfying ending. Thanks Jayne for a wonderful story.

When an author can flesh out such a complete story arc with multi-faceted characters all within the confines of a short story, I know that author is gifted.
