Somewhere in the Whirlwind

the long version

From her deathbed, Sebastian's mother had promised him….."You'll never have trouble with women. You are just the kind of man that they will lose their hearts over. You're big and rugged, but there's a tenderness about you. A woman will do just about anything for a man who is gentle with them." And, then, he would meet the woman who would become his wife…..Emily McKnight had an almost mystical beauty. She was chastity personified. On the spring morning Emily stood in the vestibule of her grandfather's house and regarded Sebastian with her large, dark eyes, he was immediately reminded of a creature of the forest, poised to take flight…..Sebastian stared, unblinking, then pulled his cap from his unruly black mane of hair…and then, he met the "other" woman! They lived the life of hungers and passions as relentless as the raging sea. From England to America to distant Hawaii, they sought ecstasy and vengeance….Somewhere in the Whirlwind.
