Love, Lust, Deception

Just when a person thinks that they have outrun their past we find that time never forgets. This is an enchanting story where we become lost in a world of mistakes, regrets, deception and of a man's undying love for a woman who he could not save. Ten years have passed and yet Mitch still continues to search for a way to bring his lost love back. Sadly this plan involves using Felicity, who has falling so deeply in love with him that she has become blinded by all signs of danger. That is until they reach Mitch's home port where his past has finally caught up with him. His only choice in protecting Felicity is leaving her in the arms of his best friend and first mate Cole. What started out as a bond of friendship has grown much deeper between Felicity and Cole, and yet neither wanted to see these signs until a stranger opens their eyes. Knowing that these feelings can never develop into anything, they try their hardest to deny these feelings, that is; until Mitch pushes Cole too far. Now they are forced to either suppress these or confront Mitch about them. Only as the story continues we find ourselves asking will Mitch really care what happens between them. Does he really care about Felicity at all? We come to learn that no one can trust a captain by the name of Mitch. Excerpt: "My beautiful flower, what can I say? How can I reassure you that you are safe here especially with Cole? How I wish I could erase all of what I have done?" Mitch said before sweeping Felicity up into his arms and carried her to the sofa that sat in the middle of Cole's living room. Still holding her tightly in his arms, Mitch sat down then began placing kisses upon her silky cheek then her forehead. He took the back of his rough hand and wiped the tears that were now streaking down her pink cheeks, so that they could fall from her young tender face. Using his thumbs he caressed her soft lips as he guided the salty tears drops from the corners of her mouth that is until she tried to look away from him, he cupped her chin into his hands and whispered, "Please believe me when I say I am so sorry." With her chin still cupped within his hand he brought her face closer to his so that he could feel the warmth of her breathe against the flesh of his face.
