The Handfasting
By:

Ten
years had passed since they had joined hands in the ruins of the old
abbey church. Kneeling before the high altar, they were handfasted in
the Celtic custom, engaged to be married.
A rose
bush had bloomed beside the ruined altar. Steven had reached out to
caress one of the flowers. “I’ll find you,” he had said. “In
ten years, when we have finished school, when we are able to marry,
I’ll find you. Until then, whenever you see a yellow rose, remember
me. Remember I love you.”
In
those ten years, Katherine had finished college, completed med
school, and become a doctor. For a decade, she had been waiting,
hoping, praying, and, today ─ her birthday─ she finds a vase of
yellow roses when she reaches home.
Steven,
though, is not Katherine’s only suitor. Bill Wilson has known her
since they were in high school, and he has long planned to wed her.
While Steven and Katherine are falling in love again, he finally
decides to stake his claim. His methods leave a lot to be desired,
the conflict turns violent, and Katherine must choose the future that
she wants.
