Hello my lovely Readers!! I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you!! His Lost Love was my first book but somewhere, I lost the spark and foolishly decided to stop writing it.

Some of you have even motivated me to continue the story when I had lost hope as a writer. I am grateful to all those amazing readers!! You don't know what it means to me.

to me over and over. The fear of losing my mother as well, gave me the strength to keep going, for her. She was all I had left. Even if she had given up on herself, I wouldn't and if that made me selfish for wanting to keep her with me, I could live with that. Doctor Thorne had known me my entire life, as had everyone else in this damn village. We were a close community, I had the support of the whole village but I never felt more alone.
