About this ebook
Love may fill a heart with fire at one moment, and at the next strike it cold and unapproachable. A cautionary love tale about love lost at sea. When we first encounter love, the experience can transform us for life. Falling into the arms of a stranger may be the most perilous of first loves, and nothing will be the same again.
540 words. 18+ for mature language and themes.
