A Chaste Kiss: A collection of Christian & Amish Romance

By Hannah Winstone

Years ago, when Rose was only a little girl and the world seemed that much brighter, she could never have imagined herself forced to leave home; but now she was an adult of twenty and she knew that wasn't how the world worked. Her father died when she was eleven, and then her mother at sixteen; and now she was forced to leave the only place she had ever called home. It was that or be married off to a man twice her age, a man rude and disinterested - just the thought made her stomach churn. Who wanted a life like that?The steam train rumbled, the vibration constant as Rose lay her palm flat against the dirty window. This was going to allow her a better life; a life fulfilling and independent - so why did she feel so uneasy, like something was going to go terribly wrong?The next station slowly pulled into view. It was dark and dingy, weak light barely filtering through to reveal the gaggle of passengers waiting to board. The place was a sea of grey and brown, no colour shining through. It did nothing to alleviate the heavy ball of stress forming in her gut. In fact, as her eyes travelled over dozens of faces, she felt worse.All too eager to leave the stuffy train, Rose jumped from her seat before her brain had the time to catch up - and then she was clambering out of the train with her bags in tow, staring wide eyed and lost. The station looked bigger than it did from the train. Cavernous by comparison to the little station back home. Although, it wasn't really home any more, was it? Her uncle, eager to marry her off and take her inheritance, made sure of that. You have a new beginning here, she reminded herself.
