The
Handfasting
By: David Burnett
Blurb:
Ten years
had passed since they had joined hands in the ruins of the old abbey church.
Kneeling before the high altar, they were handfasted in the Celtic custom,
engaged to be married.
A rose bush
had bloomed beside the ruined altar. Steven had reached out to caress one of
the flowers. “I’ll find you,” he had said. “In ten years, when we have finished
school, when we are able to marry, I’ll find you. Until then, whenever you see
a yellow rose, remember me. Remember I love you.”
In those
ten years, Katherine had finished college, completed med school, and become a
doctor. For a decade, she had been waiting, hoping, praying, and, today ─ her
birthday─ she finds a vase of yellow roses when she reaches home.
Steven,
though, is not Katherine’s only suitor. Bill Wilson has known her since they
were in high school, and he has long planned to wed her. While Steven and
Katherine are falling in love again, he finally decides to stake his claim. His
methods leave a lot to be desired, the conflict turns violent, and Katherine
must choose the future that she wants.

ReplyDeleteWith a degree in psychology, I've no doubt the author has ensured this is going to be one heck of a love triangle! Looking forward to reading this.
