About this ebook
John
I have served as a sailor in His Majesty’s Royal Navy for the past ten years and had no intention of changing that path. The death of my uncle means I must return to Blackthorne Estate to take up my position as Lord and Master. I’ll step up to do my duty. My dearest wish is that my beloved joins me. When he chooses to accompany me, I set my mind to making him mine—body and soul.
Philip
I have been a sailor for nearly thirty years and never planned to retire until my captain orders it. When my beloved is called to attend to his family’s estate, he asks me to accompany him as a valet. I’m happy to do so as it keeps me close to him. He wants to grow the affection between the two of us, but I feel the need to hold myself apart. In the end, though, I suspect he will win this argument.

Chapter One
John
Docking in port after a long voyage, most seamen scurried off the vessel like rats abandoning a sinking ship. A few had wives and children awaiting them. A few bought companionship in the ubiquitous brothels. A few were simply weary of the sea and wanted to enjoy solid land for a change.
I wasn’t one of those men.
Having no one waiting, and nothing to return home to, I lingered a bit on the ship while the other men disembarked. As an Able Seaman, I was usually paid out and sent on my way,
