This short story is set in the 1100's. Meg wants to become a nun. She spurns her betrothal to Burthred when he comes calling on Christmas Eve to claim her as his wife. When her betrothed is thrown into her room by her father to force her hand, she expects an aggressive bully like her father...but instead finds a kind, patient man whom she learns to trust...but will that be enough for her to give up her one dream in life? I enjoyed this short story. The time period was one I had never read about before in a novel, and I found the unique romance very compelling as Burthred and Meg slowly discover the treasure in each other.
