I’ve been in love with the local blacksmith for as long as I can remember. With his big, capable hands and acres of shoulders that I can’t help but admire. Only he’s older and a widower. To him, I am nothing but a too-young, too-bold tavern wench. He has rejected my every advance. But his eyes tell a different story. No matter, I’m cursed to be stubborn. I’m determined to claim my blacksmith and his heart, whatever it takes. The Blacksmith in My Tavern is a short story that follows the HEA of Betsy and Heath, whom we first met in The Wolf in My Tavern.
