Having just established their new domicile in New England, life had begun to possess all the riches the New World promised. Katherine was the only child, with her being the only female of the...
Author's note: No sex this chapter. Nothing but politics, business and real estate. Chapter 21 -- Deja Vu, but Not What I intended to do had many difficulties. For starters, I was dressed to meet with high priced lawyers. For another, I was not about to expose Shadow to the south side. Most important, I was not about to expose Elspeth to Veronica, or vice...
Chapter 9: Growth Sucks, I hate it and I don't want to do it anymore. Trigger warning: Death/Suicide is discussed in this chapter. ———— "I killed my father," I whisper, "I don't think that's something I'm allowed to get over." I wipe my face and take a deep breath. It tumbled out of me so quickly I can feel my heart racing, I try to steady it with my h...
Author's note: Virtually no sex this installment. Siobhan goes into business and gets pulled into politics. Chapter 17 – Office Politics The dinner in White Plains would echo for years. I am very glad I had no true understanding of the importance, because even Dr. Richards might have frozen. That said, it had little impact in Hanover. There is a reason hi...

There's too much of it, but I couldn't risk splitting it or there'd be another long wait. This way I've been forced to stay engaged. My apologies to all of you who wrote, (some angrily, some pleadingly), wanting to know when the story would be fi...

CHAPTER 10 - HOME WITH STEVE AND A NEW CONTRACT Steve was waiting at the Brisbane airport. The week had gone much faster than he had feared. In part, he was more relaxed about the possible dangers posed by her slavery but he had also been buoyed by some of the responses to the hundreds of job applications he had sent out in the past few weeks, gaining inter...
Sorry for taking so long, I went from having a job with 10:30 hours a day to have no job at all. *Sighs* that is life. The good side is I was able to finally finish it. So without further words, enjoy the last 6 chapters of this story. --***--***--***-- Chapter 39 "Compassion" *Meadow* I look at Agape and smile, she is sitting next to Gideon, his a...
