My husband and I each had a free pass. You know that one special person that we could have sex with and not destroy our relationship. True, it had been during a night of drinking, back before we were married when we agreed to it. But I really thought he'd be okay with it.
Two souls in 1870s America. One is a tailor, living on the Great Plains and trying to escape his ghosts and his pain. The other is a teacher, dismissed from her Pennsylvania classroom after daring to advocate for women's suffrage. Both are bloodied by life, but refuse to break. This is their journey to finding themselves and each other. Caution: the "rape" code, while necessary to the story, is *not* treated erotically.
Inspired by the songs "Mr. Tanner" and "Mail Order Annie" by Harry Chapin
Ryan moved to a secluded cabin in the Pocono Mountains hoping to recover from a disastrous marriage. His isolation and the pandemic forced a lonelier isolation than he expected, until a sweet cat forced its way into his life.

A dark romance that has the feel good aspects of a romance but is wrapped up in the pain, anger, and turmoil of two people fighting to rebuild their lives. This story deals with date rape and contains one scene that's not overly graphic, but some might be offended. That chapter is clearly marked.
