Ah, I remember those romance novels. They always end with secret affairs, photos and conniving family members. With the heroine running off to some country estate to live with her parents while her broken heart heals. *sigh* Wonderful adaptation.
Man, that was such pitiful feedback. Let me try that again.
I loved your story so much. The Harlequin challenge has worked best when the plot is taken seriously - then it 's too great tastes that taste great together, like this, one of my favourite romance plots.
