Gone With the Storm

Gone With the Storm by Maggie Steamwald
"Maybel stood on the edge of the cliff, her hair streaming out behind her, whipped by the raging storm."

"Waves crashed on the rocks far below, and the tang of the ocean assaulted her senses..."

"Maybel had known pure love...but now she would embrace pure death. She had no choice..."

"Maybel was ready. The fall to the rocks below would be far less painful..."

"...than the spiritual anguish she would have to endure were she to obey her father's command."

"An edict, really, to become the oh-so-young wife of stodgy old Lord Abbagle."

"Emmanuel Abbagle, the tight fisted, gin blossom-festooned beefcake and heir to Abbagale Manor."

"Yes, it would all end here, with just one tiny little step..."

"To be continued."
