Chapter Ten

“I thought you were going to show me the inside first,” Amelia protested, as Ethan hurried her through the main hall and up the stairs of Bamburgh Castle.

“Another time,” Ethan said. “I know the owner. Returning won’t be a problem.”

“Would that owner happen to be— you?”

He grinned. “Guilty, I’m afraid. Now come. There’s a storm rolling in, and I want you to see this first.”

She laughed and ran up the stairs after him. There wasn’t much in Bamburgh that Ethan didn’t own, as she’d learned in the month and a half since their wedding. But that wasn’t why she loved him. Since the night Stuart had tried to kill them both, their bond had been unbreakable. Ethan had been her personal pillar of strength as she’d dealt with her brother’s treachery and uncovered the truth about her parents’ deaths.

By the time they reached the top of the steep, winding staircase, she was breathing hard. Ethan opened the door and led her outside to very top of the castle. Amelia turned a slow circle, drinking in the breathtaking vistas stretching in all directions— the quaint town, sail-filled harbor, and windswept sea. But it was what she caught sight of on her last turn that sent her heart racing.

A four-poster bed— minus the canopy— had been placed atop the castle.

“Whatever were you—” Her question turned to laughter as Ethan swept her up in his arms and carried her toward the bed.

“An extraordinary woman like yourself deserves an extraordinary experience.” He set her down gently. “One that no other has had.”

Amelia’s laughter died out, replaced by a fierce love for the man before her. She reached for him, pulling him down beside her, accepting his gift and its meaning.

She was not his first love, but his last, and they would take each day given them and savor it for the gift it was.
