It isn't until she meets Zan that she feels safe, as he rescues her from her ex-fiancé by appointing himself her personal bodyguard. Now, all he has to do is keep from falling for her himself. Kasia and Zan become fast friends, but true healing and justice might cost more than either of them is willing to pay.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's 'The Complete Short Stories' is a collection of his finest works, showcasing his mastery of the short story format. Each story is intricately woven with themes of sin, guilt, and the complexities of human nature, reflecting the author's profound insight into the human condition. Hawthorne's writing style is characterized by his rich use of symbolism and allegory, adding layers of meaning to each narrative. Set against the backdrop of puritanical New England, his stories explore the dark corners of the human psyche, making them both thought-provoking and timeless. This collection serves as a testament to Hawthorne's enduring influence on American literature. Nathaniel Hawthorne's own life experiences, including his Puritan heritage and his fascination with the supernatural, greatly influenced his writing. His exploration of moral dilemmas and psychological conflicts can be traced back to his own struggles with guilt and sin. These personal experiences lend an authenticity and depth to his stories, making them resonate with readers on a profound level. I highly recommend 'The Complete Short Stories' to readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that delves into the complexities of human nature. Hawthorne's timeless tales continue to captivate audiences with their profound themes and masterful storytelling.
