Description : Jean-Luc de Martain has never shown much interest in women. His biggest secret - his secret identity as the town executioner - makes it difficult to trust others, and allow them to trust him in turn. He is resigned to his bachelor status, until Emmanuelle Terrien returns to town. With her sweet nature and innocence, Emmanuelle stirs up feelings Jean-Luc thought he had long since suppressed. She also brings along another problem. She is André's little sister. André happens to be Jean-Luc's childhood friend. When André ends up in trouble with the law, will Jean-Luc lose everything he holds dear?

I was speechless when I finished reading this story and I really have no words to describe this wonderful piece of work by "NeverTrustaDuck". It does not have a fairytale ending but what I loved about this story is that it is very emotional and gives us a more practical view.
PS- Another wonderful story by the author is "A Healer's Fate". It fits more into Fantasy genre than Historical Fiction but a good read nevertheless!!
