The Borrowed Days

Her punishment for defiance was also a reprieve...If only a temporary one. Greed, a hated promise, and a sudden death set Fia Graham on a life-changing journey. A thief, destined to become a malevolent force in her life, sends her stumbling across the moors - and into the path of a man betrayed by the world and hiding from his own pain.

He would come to love her as she does him...But deception separates them. With the help of an old family friend, Fia flees, to escape those who promise only pain and defilement, to forge a new life whie mourning the loss of the love now forbidden to her. Will her new life be destroyed before it even truly begins?

Why others thought they could decided her future was a mystery to her. Fia refused, but was ignored. It was a dangerous path, though, and she vowed to do whatever it took to escape it, no matter the consequence. Those choices bring new friends, but she clings to the memories of the man she can never have. Fia waits for those memories to fade, but is just as afraid they will.

And, what was Martin to do? Fia was gone; he was bereft and without direction. Nothing was important to him. But he couldn't stay at the croft and he decided to follow wherever his dog, Arthur, led him. Running away, that was what Annie called it. Perhaps... but there was nothing left for him at home. Fia was everywhere he looked, and nowhere. Travelling the land that he loved after all these years of hiding... that was the answer. At least for now.
