I may be a decorated captain in the Royal Navy,
but to the Sons of Liberty, I am known as
Merlin
- a daredevil who defies the British Townshend Act of 1767
by smuggling tea into the colonies.
a suspiciously beautiful young woman,
set to be hanged the following morning.
Thankfully the fiery Catherine Bellamy and I escaped
- though I hardly trust the sultry=eyed woman.
No matter the temptation she presents,
I can't forget it was she who lured me into
the trap that nearly left me dead.
Even if she didn't do so knowingly,
she certainly knows the identity of who did
- and I will do anything to see justice rendered.
Though why can I think of little else than
keeping Catherine safe - and preoccupied with my kiss?
