This is a *new* love story for John and Margaret. It is NOT a sequel. Please do not buy it if you want to read an extension to the original. Their love is more powerful. Expect more intimacy and adult content.-- Leaning down towards her, John murmured softly into her ear, "I miss you, Margaret. Please, come back to Milton. Don't lock your heart away. Return to me."

Instantly feeling his loss and a great sense of emptiness, Margaret watched as he threaded his way through the crowd. She would never let him walk out of her life. "John Thornton, look back at me."
