Reckless Moon

THE MAN WHO WENT TO SEA

Bethany Forsyth had never known Bram Curtis, but she remembered the talk about him. Her father said he was a wanderer on the face of the earth. Her mother said he had "gone to sea." It was a beautiful expression, calling up images of a sky filled with foreign constellations. Beth wanted to meet the man who had gone to sea.

And once she met him, she wanted to give herself to him in a way her father could never accept; she wanted to love him in a way even a reckless sailor dared not love.
