An Excerpt From The Novel The Sea Of Love:Declan Continued More Firmly “There Can Be No Future For Us. I Would Be Even Worse Than I Already Am If I Continued To Take Advantage Of Your Warmth And Generosity By Pretending I Had No Doubts Or Reservations Or If I Allowed You To Believe That I Was Free Or That My Feelings For You Could Go Beyond The Respect And Admiration IVe Held For You Ever Since We Met.”“I Understand” Aidanna Said Fighting Back The Tears. The One Man Who Had Ever Truly Treated Her As An Equal Didn’T Care For Her While All Those Who Claimed Friendship Were Only After Her Bed And Body And All Her Castles And Ships. But All The Castles And Ships Couldn’T Match The Incredible Wealth Of The Duke Of Norfolk Aidanna Acknowledged Bitterly.“So It Was Farewell All Along Wasn’T It Declan? In Spite Of All The Discussions We’Ve Had Between The Two Of Us And With Ruairi And Diarmuid You’Ve Always Known You Had To Go Back To Do Your Duty Fulfil Your Destiny As A Great Courtier In Henry’S Household. “Well I Must Compliment You Sir On Your Devotion To Duty Your Levelheaded Attention To Business And The Fact That You Can Resist Succumbing To Your Base Desires By Avoiding A Liaison With A Woman Who Would Only Drag You Into Disrepute.”“Aidanna!” “No Declan I Understand Exactly What You’Ve Said. If You Dislike Hearing The Truth Just Think How I Feel. Spare Me The Absurd Protestations And Catch Some Fish.”Her Glowering Silence Made It Quite Clear To Declan That Aidanna Did Not Forgive Him But Nor Was She The Type To Cause A Scene By Attempting To Change His Mind. Declan Longed To Kiss Her Senseless If Only To Hear Her Whisper His Name With Longing And He Felt A Telltale Tightening In His Loins Which He Knew He Would Not Be Able To Subdue Forever.They Sat For A Time In Silence Until It Became So Oppressive Aidanna Turned The Coracle Around And Headed Back To The Cave. She Was Just About To Re-Enter When Declan Reached To Help Her Cupping Her Elbow Very Near Her Breast. Brushed Up Against Her. The Warmth Of Each Other’S Flesh Burned Like A Hot Brand.... ====The Sea Of Lovesorcha Macmurroughword Count: 80000 Approx. 250 8.5 X 11?
