She hoped Father had fresh tomatoes on the premises when Claire walked through the door for the first time. Catherine couldn’t believe her good fortune when Thomas bent to kiss her. It wasn’t socially proprietary, but she didn’t care. She never fit with social constraints to begin with. The fact that her marriage and her love were ill-fitting for the standards set forth seemed as if it was the only way she would have ever been happy. As she kissed her husband back, she knew she was destined for a life of nothing but happiness, forevermore.

About the Author
Madeline St. James is an author from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Fascinated with the intricacies and elobarate customs of the Regency period, she spends her spare time researching and writing wholesome stories.
The colonial charm of Wilkes-Barre turned her into a history buff, where she began studying the US revolutionary war. She became obsessed with the finer details of olde European and American culture.
Madeline’s stories allow her to re-create these moments in time and express herself through a unique, rigid world.
While this historical period only represents a blimp in human existence, she hopes her work will allow this beautiful time to live on forever.
Her dream is to one day travel to Ireland and England where she can explore castles and re-live the scenes of her novels.
She’s always open to chat and discuss historical/wholesome romance, so don’t hesitate to reach out
