Mark didn’t go to Stanford, Harvard, or Yale. He stayed with Lonnie in Denver for his graduate studies and doctoral program. He easily aced his classes and more easily stole her heart. She was happier than she’d ever been in her life. They were madly and deeply in love.

The day after she graduated, he took her on one of their favorite hikes. When they reached the lookout, he gave her hand a gentle squeeze and asked her to wait a minute. Sunlight bathed the snow-capped mountains behind them, the pines sang softly, and Mark got down on one knee.

They married the summer after she graduated. For their honeymoon they rented a houseboat and sailed down the Colorado River. It was an ancient boat that spewed black exhaust smoke as it chugged along.

As he steered the beast down the river, she stretched out on the deck and watched him. She couldn’t help but smile. Man, he looked good—the wind blowing his blond hair, his tanned skin, the scowl on his face as he grumbled, “Gutless piece of…”

“How’s it going there, Captain?” She sipped her diet cola.

He turned those amazing eyes on her and stole her breath away. “You deserve a yacht for our honeymoon. Not this cheap piece of junk.”

She fake-pouted. “How can you say that about our love-boat?”

“You like this old tub? Angel, when I’m a surgeon, we’ll have plenty of money for a real sailing adventure. What do you think? Bahamas? Virgin Islands? Hawaii?”

“Why can’t we do them all?”

He grinned. “I like the way you think. We’ll make love all day and jump in the water to cool off. Eat a little. Rest a little. Do it all over again.” The look he gave her was so full of heat she thought she might have to jump in the water right now.

“How’d you know?” She got up, pressed herself into his back, and wrapped her arms around his warm shoulders and whispered on his ear, “I have a thing for captains.”

He reached around and pulled her into his arms. “All captains?”

“Mmm-mm.”

“Guess I’m going to have to work to make you forget the others.” He kissed the daylights out of her and she forgot every man she’d ever known.

Neither one of them noticed when the stupid houseboat ran aground on a sandbar.
