There’s so much in Malcolm and Andreona’s story that I am not giving any spoilers when I reveal a snippet of their happily ever after.
The scene: It’s Medieval Scotland. The two
lovers are outdoors under the canopy of a tree that has gnarled roots tumbling
above ground. The horror that has plagued them the entire book has been
resolved and now it’s just the two of them.
‘I love you,’ he said.
After all he had said and done? ‘I
know.’
‘You do have me,’ he continued. ‘When
your father left, you had me.’
‘I know that, too.’ She’d always known
that; she had only hoped he would recognise it.
‘It hurts to love you, Andreona.’
She didn’t know what to say to that.
‘But what does it say about me that,
despite the pain, I do it anyway?’
She turned in his arms to face him
fully. ‘It says you love me,’ she said.
‘With all the thorns, the knowing you
could betray, mistrust, or abandon me. Despite knowing there can be loss, I
do.’
After hearing that her father had
ordered her death, she’d felt such devastation, loss...but also simply feeling
lost. Then to go from that to this joy. That’s what was piercing her now with
Malcolm’s words. Simply joy. Did he not feel that way, too?
‘Love doesn’t have to hurt, Malcolm.’
‘It does when I’ve been empty for so long.
It hurts because it overflows and my heart doesn’t know what to do with it all
and it’s making a mess inside my chest. I have trouble breathing around you.’
This man. Their journey hadn’t been
easy, but now they were here, it was the easiest thing ever. She’d have to show
him how easy it was. Just as soon as she could look up at him without her tears
blurring her vision. The very moment, she could talk through the little hiccups
and sobs leaving her throat and chest.
‘Andreona.’
‘I’m happy, Malcolm, give me a moment.’
He curled his finger under her chin and
lifted her eyes to his. She knew her nose was red, her eyes puffy from too many
tears.
‘This is happiness?’ he said. ‘It
doesn’t look much better than love feels.’
Oh, so many more words…but I really will
spoil it if I share more!

novels hidden in her grandmother’s closet. Convinced hidden books must be
better, Nicole greedily read them. It was only natural she should start writing
them (but now not so secretly). If she isn’t working on the next book in her
historical series, she can’t be found. No, seriously. Because she’s always
working on the next story!
