Found
at sea
Captain
Marcus Thornhill never imagined he would find a lady floating
unconscious in a lifeboat out in the middle of the open sea. But it
wasn’t any lady, it was Ivy. Seven years earlier he rejected her
love for a life at sea. As he rescues her he gets involved in a
treason plot that will bring the war to their beloved shores of
England. As he unravels the plot he is unable to deny his desire for
her. Is he too late in saving her and the love he has for her?
Excerpt
Thorn
stood at the bow of his ship ‘My Hedera’ starring out into the
dark night, lost in his deep thoughts. The brigantine dipped and
swayed into the huge waves that rocked the sea. Dark storm clouds
stretched across the skies blending into the black sea. None of the
stars lighted the sky tonight; because the heavens had opened for a
fierce storm. As he ran his fingers through his long, dark, wet hair
he brought them down to his sides, fisting his hands in anger. The
storm was nothing compared to the turmoil of emotions that were
running through him.
“Captain,
do you think it is her?” Sammy his first mate shouted to be heard
above the thunder as he twisted his hat in between his hands.
“I
don’t know Sammy, I don’t know.” Thorn whispered into the
storm.
Marcus
Thornhill, Thorn to his friends, continued starring out into the dark
night. He knew it was her; he just didn’t want to admit to it.
While trying to get control of his anger he tried to figure out who
would have done such an awful thing to her. Before he returned to her
he needed to be calm. He was angrier with himself than with anyone
else. If he would have come home sooner, he could have prevented
something like this from happening.
