Summary
1795-Jon Snow is a midshipman in the Royal Navy in the early years of the Napoleonic Wars. The bastard son of a French Marquis, he has been raised by his maternal uncle. He meets Miss Sansa Stark, the daughter of a retired and wealthy army colonel, Sir Eddard Stark.
This is basically a totally self-indulgent series born out of my love for Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series and C.S. Forester's Hornblower books combined with my obsession with JonSa. Just hoping there are other geeks like me out there!

Summary
When her grandchildren discover something odd in her attic trunk, Sansa recalls the winter of 1798 when she fell in love with Jon Snow.
**
“What’s a bundling sack?” Lyanna asked.
“It’s what folks would use for bundling,” Sansa answered evasively, knowing that would not deter the girl for a moment.
“Grandmother…” the child said in a tone half pleading and half annoyed.
“Would you like to hear of it?” she asked, hiding her grin as she recalled his shy smile and dark grey eyes reflecting the lantern light from many years earlier.Series

Summary
That night was the start, or rather the rebirth, of everything he’d been in denial about since he’d left Winterfell. Any notions he’d harbored of his feelings for Sansa being merely familial had died on the vine when she’d taken his hand and whispered in his ear to keep him from fighting. Those longings he’d been ashamed of as a younger man had not gone away with the war at all. They tripled the moment he held her in his arms again.
Two young cousins start developing romantic feelings for one another only to be separated by the outbreak of World War II. Through years of peril and loss, they grow into adulthood but never forget one another. When the war ends, they find themselves reunited and hope to find a second chance at happiness.

Though a happy homecoming, Jon and Sansa will soon face revelations regarding his father's family and difficulties at home as well.

“It’s not completely blank, mind you. My mama wrote this inside.” He opens the journal and in an elegant hand one sentence is written : Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did.
“Those are profound words, Jon.”
“Well, it is Sunday. A good day for the profound, your priest would likely say.”
She doesn’t wish to dwell on what the priest might say. She wants Jon’s opinion instead. “What was your mama’s intent with those words, do you suppose?”
“To live, sweet cousin. To live until we die.”

Summary
Jon smiles and reaches into his waist pocket to offer his calling card.
The man looks him up and down with a fearsome scowl, ignoring the card before speaking. “I’m sorry, sir, but suitors are received on Saturdays from 10 till 11 in the parlor. You’ll have to return to see Miss Sansa tomorrow,” he states in a monotone voice as if someone has drilled the phrase into him.
“I’m not a suitor.”
The monotone tone is absent when the man responds with clear sarcasm. “Sure, you ain’t. We’ve had a regular spring flood tide of ‘em since Miss Sansa got to town and word spread about her beauty and wealth. Left and right, they come at all hours with their cards and their neatly tied cravats looking to have a leer at ‘er.”

Summary
Young Sansa Stark begins writing to her older brother's friend Jon after he moves to Dorne to practice her cursive and cheer him up. Over the course of the years, the two unlikely pen pals bond over their adolescent hurts and develop feelings for one another beyond friendship.
When I think about the number of hours we've spent together compared with the number hours we've been apart, it's funny really. That the person who means the most to me in all the world is one I've not spent more than four weeks at a time with since we were just children who barely spoke. How'd you do that? How'd my pen pal become my soul mate?

Summary
EXPERIENCED RANCH HAND WANTED
Giving the advertisement another long look, like a lean wolf staring at a lonely hare, Jon Snow knew he'd need to find employment if he didn't want to wind up a frozen, starved corpse before spring. Worn out by life on the trail and the haunted feeling that he was still fleeing his past, he thought steady employment somewhere settled might suit him for a change.
"What do you reckon, Ghost? Might be worth a shot."
******
After her husband had died of consumption last year, many in town had doubted that a young woman of twenty could keep things afloat but Sansa Stark Tyrell is no ordinary young woman and she's determined to keep her ranch and to keep her newfound family together.
But a ranch the size of the Golden Rose needed more than one old man, two green boys, three young women and a baby to keep it thriving. They needed at least one man in his prime.
“A man in his prime for the ranch and a man in his prime in your bed,” Mya had teased when she’d spoke of hiring someone.
She’d smothered a giggle and told Mya to hush up when she’d said it but something low in her belly tightened at the memory.

Summary
They’ve all lost so much. Harry’s rash spending and poor choices will not cost her this. She cannot lose Winterfell. She cannot. She will do what she must, not for the man she calls husband but for her home and family.
Resigned, she finds her courage. “If the king could be persuaded to give us some more time or forgive some of the debt and if he might harbor any inclination towards me, I will indulge his…”
Her face burns with shame and she cannot finish the sentence but it’s all the agreement Harry needs. He nods and looks relieved. He looks intolerably relieved for a man who’s just asked his wife to play the whore.

Summary
He sits in the stockade, a condemned man, but claims it was worth it to help the others find their way back home.

She's frightened but she can do this. Brave, like a lady in a song.

Summary
When Jon is hired on as the new undergardener at Winterfell, Old Willem’s rules are simple:
“The godswood takes care of itself. The rest of the estate does not.
If a task can be done by sundown, I expect it to be done by sundown. If not, go eat your supper and finish it the next day.
Don’t neglect the lemon trees in the Glass Garden. They need constant care to thrive up here.
Leave Lady Catelyn’s roses that grow there be. She prefers to tend them herself.
Leave Lady Catelyn’s daughters be as well.”
Keeping to four out of five isn’t so bad, he reckons.

Summary
“A game! Let’s play a game!” Sansa declares after supper while Tom Sevenstrings and his friends pluck out a tune.
“The Pickety Witch!” someone suggests and several more agree.
Sansa laughs as her friend Jeyne Poole covers her eyes with a length of fine silk. What a sight she is in her pretty blue gown with her red hair shining brightly, curled and coiffed just so. Her rosy lips and that bit of black silk upon her porcelain skin, she presents an image that Jon knows will revisit him in the night. Honor will have him attempting to banish the thoughts it will spur. Carnal desire will encourage him in them.
They twirl her around three times, the children, young ladies and gentlemen chuckling and edging about the limited allotted space for the game as their elders watch from nearby smiling with nostalgia for their own youths perhaps.
“The Pickety Witch, the Pickety Witch, who’s got a kiss for the Pickety Witch?” Sansa asks with her hands stretched out before her, eager to snare a victim and guess who it is she’s caught.
