Their wish was sealed…was their fate?
Young Fairy Godfather Gus Duncan
is living his clan’s unfortunate family motto— Learn to Suffer — to a
greater degree than he ever dreamed.
The woman he loves is withering
away beneath the burden of memory, of one perfect night with him she was
supposed to forget.
Facing a reality he never imagined, he must make
the decision of his life: shatter the most sacred rule in the fairy
code, or lose his beloved Till forever. Can true love save her when even
magic fails?
~*~ Excerpt ~*~
God, Tilda Mae, I miss ye so much.
He
knew now what he needed to do.
He
needed to take a long walk on a lonely beach.
~*~
His
destination was well in mind before he set foot upon the soil; Barleycove
Beach, in County Cork.
He
hoped the sight of familiar hills in the distance would warm his heart just a
little; but the fog was so thick he could barely make them out.
He
considered a trip to nearby Mizen Head to see the signal light, but knew even
that faithful beacon could not help him find his way this time. He’d already
crashed into the rocks full force, and nothing could save him from this
heartache of his own creation.
His
grief not only blocked out the rest of the world but held him captive inside
himself; a prisoner of emotions he never wanted to have.
He
never meant to fall in love with Till.
In
the beginning he’d just wanted to watch out for her, for Aunt Tilda’s sake. To
teach her as best he could, and hope she wouldn’t lose herself entirely to her
new role as a Fairy Godmother. What he didn’t expect was for her to grow into
the role so perfectly it was as though it was tailored to her very soul.
As
though she was tailored to his very
soul.
She
was so generous. She always tried her best on every assignment, with every duty
required. She was grateful for every blessing bestowed, no matter how small.
Till
could make nothing feel like everything, and had made his feelings of affection
ignite from spark to conflagration in what seemed a matter of moments.
He’d
been in love with her a lot longer than he was willing to admit to himself,
until now.
