Deffo grovel since she doesn't know about the threat.
It may of been for a very good reason but it still hurt the h.
Though this sounds sooo good. I have just gotten Fire and Ice so I am going to read that this weekend. It has been rec'd to me previously and sounds really good.
Thanks! That's what I thought because of the grief she'd been through. It's going to be tricky.... Also, I think it's reasonable that she won't jump immediately into the hero's arms because they haven't seen each other for 3 years ... it'll take some time for them to get used to each other.
vpaige - Considering it was 3 years and she lost the baby, he needs to grovel. It would tick me off if he said, "I'm sorry but.." She suffered so he need to as well imo. (I think you knew I'd say that, lol.) If she is pissed and doesn't forgive him right away, it'll add some zing to the book and maybe there could be an opportunity to make him jealous as he was gone for 3 years. I don't want her to cheat but maybe she begins to date. Her heart isn't into it of course but he doesn't know that, lol.
ETA - Oh and make it last for a bit. Maybe a few months. Pretty please!
You and I think so much alike! Opening scene with heroine after prologue is she is going on a first date after three years. Hero found out and is losing his mind. Though his friend can control her online-dating profile, he couldn't do anything to a co-worker being sweet on the heroine. Yep, no cheating.
So glad I bounced this off over here. It's a unique situation and if it were me I'd be pissed even if it were to save my life. There were vows ... for better for worse ...

I wish I could heart your post. That's freaking genius, Victoria! I love-love-love the idea. Can I request that you make him suffer for a while though? You are sooo good at having the H pursue the h. It's like book crack for me and I never want that part to end. That's always 5 star material imo.

It's a novella length ... and I'm going to try and stretch the pursuit/grovel as long as I can. LoL! It's a crossover of Guardians and Susan Stoker's world so you'll be seeing someone familiar.

I love tension and totally agree with Samantha K.
Here comes the sun even though I love that rainy day feeling!

I definitely think the H has to grovel. Of course she still loves the H and is happy he is alive, but she can still be mad about all she has suffered not knowing he was alive for 3 years. That is a long time to be kept in the dark. Anything could have happened. I also thought it would be great if she already has a date set up when he first returns, but of course she can't do it now or she would be cheating. That doesn't mean she can't offer to go meet the guy and explain in person why she can't date! That would really make the H crazy! I'm looking forward to reading this story.

Thanks for chiming in Ms. D! There's definitely a "date" there. I'm so glad I'm not being unreasonable for wanting to make the hero grovel for this even if it was for the safety of the heroine ... the emotional torment can feel like death in itself.
I'm already 1/3 into the writing of this but wasn't feeling it because of my hesitance on the groveling. I'm doing major reworks to the plot to allow for more grovel and J/P time.
