The Books and Novels to Read.com Compendium of Short Stories

Presenting a collection of short stories featuring two by Mary C. Findley. Look for “Most Fortunate of Men” and “My Lord’s Table,” in this eclectic collection. Companion stories, these two tales begin with a young woman waiting ten years for her betrothed to return from war. But will he return? Will Jael have to go and ransom him back? Will he even be alive? Will the handsome enemy prince claim her for himself?

In “My Lord’s Table,” yet another war tears apart the life of a country estate owner when a mercenary invades his home and threatens his peace for food, and perhaps much more than Lord Caleb is willing to give. What will it take to stop a man who smells victory and wants its spoils all at once?
