“Man overboard!” Adair yelled into the howling wind, but had no idea if anyone would hear him. Frantically, he hoisted himself into the lifeboat and began throwing anything that would float overboard. He strained to make out a form in the swirling water or to hear a cry for help, but the wind deafened any other sound. He turned his attention to releasing the pulleys that would lower the boat into the angry sea. He had no idea if Kaitlin could swim. In these conditions, he’d have a hard time staying afloat himself. The rain still fell in needle-sharp sheets and they were at least a mile from shore. Staying well off shore was a precaution he always took, especially at night. And he had no way of knowing how far off course they’d been blown by the squalls.

He gave a shrill blast on his captain’s whistle and was relieved when the boatswain’s head appeared over the rail looking down. “Reef down and come about,” Adair called as the lifeboat splashed down. “Keep circling until I return.”

taking her to the limit, giving her pleasure, causing that beautiful body to shudder in delightful explosions all night long. Sweet Kaitlin. Stubborn, hot-tempered, independent Kaitlin . I love her. A pity I didn’t realize it until now, when it may be too late.

He strained to hear above the still-shrieking wind. All he could hear was the howling in the loose rigging as the frigate lumbered through the confused waves. He made out more lifeboats now, but no sign of a swimming form.

“Brighid,” he prayed. “Doona let me lose her. She doona deserve to die.”

The wind stilled suddenly, as if the saint had indeed answered him. And then he heard it. A distant cry for help, somewhere astern of him. He dipped the oar deeply
