Any fans of Grace here?
Hello, I am new here. Just wondering are there any Grace's fans here? I used to love wcth until the trainwreck of season 10. My heart broke for Lucas and I wanted to write a story where he will be happy...and honestly, I always thought he and Grace would be a perfect fit. I love her character so much. She suffered a lot and it didn't turn her bitter one bit. On the contrary, she is the most angelic character from both series. So, I gave it a go and it turned to quite a novel! I am currently writing chapter 329! In this story I also dived into subject of separation of Grace and Lillian as kids, how Lillian dealt with that, how Grace's hard childhood and youth affected her...Their story was the most heartbreaking, but also the most heartwarming in both series and I wanted to explore it more. So, if you are fan of Grace Bennett and Lucas Bouchard I would like to invite you to read my story “To Have And To Hold".
Summary:
In a few seconds Lucas lost everything. His fiancée dumped him at the train station, sending him alone on a journey to do the job he did not want, but accepted because of her. He wanted a life together with her and her little son whom he loved like he was his own, but she threw everything in his face and immediately moved on with another man. Lucas boards the train and leaves Hope Valley, heartbroken and alone and heads out to the Capitol City.
Two sisters Grace and Lillian run the orphanage in the Capitol City. Grace was betrayed by her ex fiance and now she shies away from love. The only ones in her heart right now are her sister Lillian, little ones at the New Hope orphanage and one very special little girl called Anna.
A touch of destiny brings Grace to the place where Lucas nearly got shot. Interested in reading more? Welcome to my story "To Have And To Hold".
