"Timeless Bonds" by Diana Candelin

In the pastoral beauty of 19th century England, Stephanie and Collin's story unfolds. They share a history rich with innocent childhood play and dreams. Yet, as time marches on, they are separated by war and societal expectations. When Collin returns as a war veteran, the chasm of ten years spent apart looms between them. As they navigate their rekindled friendship, the layers of their past peel away to reveal a deep, undeniable love.
Collin, bearing the scars of battle both inside and out, struggles to adapt to a peaceful life, while Stephanie, now a woman of strength and compassion, seeks to understand the man Collin has become. As they cross the boundaries of friendship, their love blossoms into a passionate affair that defies the conservative mores of their era.
Amidst the rolling hills of their English countryside, Stephanie and Collin's love story is one of powerful transformation, healing, and the unbreakable bonds formed by love and shared history.
