Through Darkened Clouds

He believed she didn’t love him. She believed she had lost his love forever.

John Thornton has resigned himself to a life of duty and solitude. A devastating truth compounds the bitter sting of Margaret Hale’s rejection: she was willing to sacrifice her own spotless reputation for another man.
Far away in London, Margaret languishes amidst the empty luxury of Harley Street. Struggling under the weight of devastating loss and the agonizing realization that she destroyed the trust of the one man she truly admires, she believes all hope of reconciliation is lost forever.
When fate—in the form of a wise godfather—intervenes, the truth behind her desperate secret comes to light. John faces a choice: shield his heart behind his formidable pride or risk everything on a journey to London to claim the woman who has captured his soul.

Rich with Victorian atmosphere and slow-burn angst, Through Darkened Clouds is a fade-to-black variation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South. This romantic novella is best read knowing the original storyline.
