HighwaymanEmbrace3

The Highwayman’s Embrace

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding – riding –
Riding-riding-
The Highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

Elsabeth has loved Sebastian, the notorious highwayman known as the Midnight Rider, since she was a little girl. He has always treated her like a sister, kind and loving but never with a hint of romance. When he collapses in her arms, bleeding profusely from a bullet wound, she is terrified she might never get a chance to tell him how she truly feels. As she nurses Sebastian back to health, Elsabeth realizes something has changed within him. She is shocked by Sebastian’s shocking confession that he is no longer a human man. At first she’s reluctant to be near him, even as she continues to take care of him and give him shelter at her father’s inn. Eventually she realizes it doesn’t matter that he’s now a vampire. He’s still the person she loves; however, they may not have a chance to explore that love because the king’s soldiers will do all in their power to kill him.
