Grace stood at the window of her bedchamber watching Ethan prepare to leave. He was dressed the way he had been on his ship, in a full-sleeved shirt, snug black breeches and knee-high boots, with a riding coat draped over his arm. A groom led a prancing black gelding up to where he stood and he tied the coat behind the flat leather saddle. Ethan ran a hand along the black’s neck and swung onto the animal’s back as effortlessly as he did everything else.

For a moment, he looked up at the window where she stood and their eyes met, his the color of the sky on a cool fall day, hers filled with an anguish she hoped he could not see. He was leaving, just as she had feared, and with him any hope of happiness for the future.

She watched him ride out, tall and lean, broad-shouldered and easy in the saddle, riding with the same confidence he strode the deck of his ship. Grace watched horse and rider head off down the lane and disappear amongst the trees, and her heart squeezed hard inside her.

She had tried to steel herself, to insulate her feelings. He was still the devil captain, after all.

But there was something about Ethan Sharpe, something that drew her as no other man ever had. Aside from his commanding presence, lean, hard-muscled body and remarkable skills as a lover, there was something in his eyes when he looked at her, something of loneliness that reached inside and touched a cord of loneliness in her.

Something that beckoned her to see those beautiful blue eyes filled instead with happiness and love.

It wasn’t going to happen and convincing herself that it might had only managed to get her battered heart broken again. She looked back out the window. The lane was empty. Ethan was gone.

They were married now, but nothing at all had changed.
