Loved You Better Than You Knew
Cinthia Dawn was barely visible in the room. The drab of her course, grey dress blended her seamlessly with the morose blanket of rain falling in sheets outside her window. Was this to be the sum of her existence? Was she ever to be shackled to this provincial life as adventure and culture passed her by? Escapade and libidinous adventure beckoned to her. She hears them even now, especially in the drops pattering on her window. Would she ever break free of this monotony?
Not if her aunt and guardian, the Widow Flint, had much to do about it. It had been many years since her father wandered and left Cinthia in her aunt’s care. The withered, scabbed old woman hadn’t driven the intrepid spirit from her niece, but not for lack of trying. Now, in her seventeenth year, Cinthia’s thirst for the bold and daring was greater and more unquenchable than ever. And, unknown to her, she was about to get her wish.
Soon, Cinthia finds herself embroiled in adventure, dark secrets and a tragedy that would shape her life forever.
