    Summary

    Jaime didn't die before they were able to go to Barcelona. They end up in a beautiful apartment close to the beach where Marta and Fina get to live their love while also taking care of Jaime and trying to navigate having to say goodbye to him.

    There is a lot of fluff especially between Marta and Fina, but I would have loved to see more of Fina and Jaime and how they share their love for Marta, so there is also that and some heartache following Jaime's disease.

    We all know they deserved to go to Barcelona, but suspected it wouldn't happen. This is how I wished it had gone.

    Canon up until chapter 142

    Chapters 1,7 & 15 NSFW

    Summary

    "I hope that I’ve heard your voice as a small consolation for not kissing your lips. Every moment we’re apart I can feel my heart beating in my throat, threatening to jump out and run to you. I’ll do my best to keep it inside until I can return it to you safely."

    If Fina had gone to Barcelona alone when Jamie was dying and Damien was trying to send her away, these are the letters that Marta would have written to her.

    Some are a little angsty, some are a little sexy, but they're all Marta being the ultimate romantic lovergirl.

    Summary

    Spanish Naples, on the fringes of the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659). In midst of sea powers battling for dominance and nobles scheming for power, the arrival of the ducal bride to the house of Olivares is interrupted at the island of Rocca Alta.

    While Marta de la Reina has to wait out the return of her husband-to-be from military campaign on what is a quiet outpost, removed from the worldly amenities of court, someone else on the island also yearns for a world beyond its shores: Fina Valero’s life doesn’t point past the fishers’ colony she has been born into, but she cannot help dream of more.

    When Fina is sent into the household of the new Duchess, it turns out to be only the first step of a journey that that will take Fina far, far beyond the shores of Rocca Alta. Yet between faraway coasts and the endless sea, Fina remains forever striving back towards the one treasure that can never be hers: the Duchess herself.
