    Summary

    At her Father and Godfather's bidding, John Thornton makes another offer of marriage to Margaret Hale, who is no longer in any position to refuse. But he is determined to keep his own feelings to himself, and leave her to her desires and inclinations. He cannot risk having his world, and his heart, shattered by her once again...

    If you love a soft, tender, lovesick John, and a fragile, gently trusting Margaret, this story is for you!

    A slow-burn, HEA, romantic marriage of convenience, with some sickness, hurt/comfort, loneliness and a fair amount of angst and tension.
