Summary
The air smelled of salt and dried blood. The wind howled through the sails, and the black flags flapped like wails above their heads. The deck creaked with every step, as if the wood itself groaned under the weight of the sins it bore.
The scent of salt was almost entirely choked by the acrid stench of stale wine and sweat, clinging to the crew like a curse. They were broken men, with no homeland and no honor, but with a ship that seemed to stay afloat out of sheer habit.
She never spoke when she went below deck.
They had taken her in silently, the way one welcomes a shadow. No one had asked her anything. No one wanted to know. She had appeared after a battle, among corpses and smoke, and the captain had kept her close, like a debt owed to fate.
She wore a filthy hood that covered her face in profile. Beneath it, watchful eyes, always searching for a sign, a mistake. Always with her chin held high, as if she weren’t the one at the bottom of the world—but the world was the one that owed her its gaze.
That’s when she saw him.
From the corner of her eye.A shadow, unlike the others.
She had never seen him before.
He hadn't been on the ship when she boarded.Bookmarked by WolfRose48

Summary
When Marlene moves halfway across the world to start over, she’s left with nothing but the weight of her present and a life to rebuild. The only constant in her new world is Simon Riley, a quiet, mysterious presence who’s always there, just a little out of reach.
As Marlene grows closer to Simon, her feelings for him become impossible to ignore, but understanding the silence between them is a challenge. With every step she takes forward in her new life, she must confront her past and the person she’s become, all while trying to figure out the enigma Simon is.
Or.
Simon Riley was someone before becoming Ghost. And that someone happened to be Marlene Murray's best friend.

Summary
Choices had consequences.
Ghost knew that intimately. He knew it so well that he got good at predicting what the consequences might be. It was a game he played. And won. Years of practice. A habit he’d ironed into the fabric of his instincts.
There had to be a consequence for loving you. He just hadn’t figured it out yet.
