Parting secrets

Susannah Hayden

Percy Morgan's life is shrouded in shadows-her past hidden and her future unknown. Where she has come from is her secret, but even Percy can't say what has drawn her to a burgeoning lumber camp. She watches as the small community wrestles with its own identity, afraid to share her own struggle to discover her own self worth. As hardened as she is by her past, Percy cannot resist the gentle nudges of the people around her. Her gruff exterior begins to soften under the friendship of the few women in the camp, and she has begun to attract the attention of the camp's doctor, Joshua Wells. The light of human and divine love beckon Percy to take a risk. Can she reopen the pain of the past and allow healing to begin?

Both he and his close friend the Marquis of Fane are entranced by it. They are, however, stunned when the dealer brings them a picture by Van Dyke painted a hundred and fifty years later, and the Madonna in it has the same beautiful face as the Lochner. How the Marquis is determined to track down the forger. How he discovers Cyrilla and how their love for each other brings them both misery and frustration until eventually they find happiness. About a girl who forges art and gets caught. The Marquis put his arm around her, kissing her passionately, possessively, until she turned her face away. "I will not frighten you," he said, imploring, "but, my darling, you are not only divine and ethereal, but also human. Let me take you away -- find a house -- we will be alone!" He kissed her once again and departed. It was then she gave a cry that seemed to come from the very depths of her being, "I love him," she sobbed, "I love him. But... I am not a... I cannot do... what he asks!"
