John Thornton has an eager mind, starved for intellectual stimulation. But what John could not have foreseen was that just as his mind needs nourishment, so does his heart. Mr. Hale's proud, beautiful, kind, stubborn, and compassionate daughter Miss Margaret Hale will bring John Thornton's untutored heart to full and vibrant life.

When Sir Guy was given a second chance at life and happiness with his Lady Roseanna and their children--the now four years old Seth Gisborne born out of wedlock to a serving girl and Sir Guy and Lady Roseanna's 4 months old infant Lady Helen Rose Gisborne--Sir Guy was also given a second chance at being a positive force for good for his new half brother Lord Archer of Locksley, Earl of Huntington. And Sir Guy vowed to endeavor to be as good a brother and mentor as his much younger brother--who is 28 yrs old to Sir Guy's 41 years old--had ever known or wished for. But brothers do not always see eye to eye, especially with regard to family matters. And even the finest of families have their difficulties to be overcome, or at least, traversed--perhaps even more so. [Author's Note: For the beginning of Sir Guy's and Lady Roseanna's love story, see the first story in this series, titled "Guy's Rose" (Book 1).]

Sir Guy has been hauled from Nottingham by Prince John's soldiers after Sherrif Vasey blames him for the lack of sufficient tribute monies collected from the nobles to line Prince John's cofferes. Sir Guy thinks that he is a dead man once he reaches London. And Vasey is now his mortal enemy--if he ever has the chance to settle that score. Yet when Sir Guy arrives at Prince John's court, he will find an altogether different scenario at play. And love and happiness might yet be within his grasp. P.S. Our fan fic story begins in the Summer months prior to the BBC's Robin Hood Series 3, Episode 5--and then the story continues through to the end of some of the events in Robin Hood Series 3.

If we could go back and change one thing in our lives--a careless thought, a hurtful remark, a devastating action--who would not wish to undo a wrong, or a mistake, or a regret? And yet, the past cannot be undone, wrongs cannot always be righted, and regrets must be lived with. And Sir Guy of Gisborne must somehow find a way to live with his pain and guilt of killing Lady Marian Knighton and harming others--if not for his own sake, then for his growing family’s sake. Sir Guy’s loving family is his greatest blessing. But Sir Guy's happiness will be challenged in a way that he never thought possible, when an old spectre from his past misdeeds returns to haunt him. And Sir Guy will finally have to atone for what he has done.
