    Summary

    ‘I was endeavouring to help you, Miss Hale!’ his voice rose further with his temper, and Margaret hoped Dixon would soon interrupt. ‘You looked faint, I did not wish you to fall.’ He exhaled deeply, and ran a hand through his hair. ‘I see now it would have caused me far less consternation to have permitted you to bleed on my cobbles, than to act as a gentleman.’
    ‘You are no gentleman, Mr Thornton.’
    *****

    Summary

    Margaret Thornton is walking through the mill yard on a regular visit to her husband’s office. She is struck in the head by a falling wooden beam and knocked unconscious. She wakes up…and thinks it is the day of the riot, over two years ago. With no memory of their reconciliation and marriage, can Margaret learn to love Mr. Thornton again?

    Rated E for only Chapter 9, which you can choose to skip if that's not your cup of tea!
