Synopsis:
How far does a
girl have to run to escape a lifetime of pain and loss at the hands of Alaska's
notoriously unforgiving Bering Sea? Twenty-seven-year-old Aesa Fredriksen
thought landlocked Columbus, Ohio would suffice, and it does until the fear of
regret drives her to return to Dutch Harbor in a final attempt to make amends
with her nearly-estranged father. Intent on salvaging the wreckage of their
relationship, she reluctantly agrees to join him—the only family she has
left—as he heads out to fish for king crab, forcing her to brave the very
waters that pulled him away from her as a child. The waters that stole her
mother's life.
When the day finally arrives for the Norwegian Queen to sail off into an uncertain future, Aesa can't help but fear the worst. Beyond the violent swells and impending storms, there is far more than death and danger awaiting her on her journey: love awaits her too.
Decker, a young but seasoned member of her father's crew, is a force of nature as strong as Aesa, He's her perfect match, and even she can't deny it. But he too is a man of the sea, and with memories of tragedy and abandonment etched so deeply into her mind, can she overcome her demons and let him in or will she drown in her darkness, forever caught in its undertow?

What do you want?” he asked,
cocking his head slightly to the side. For whatever reason that tiny movement
set something off in me and I knew why my heart had won. I wanted him. I wanted
him for all that he was and all that he promised to be.
“You,” I said with slightly more
power behind the words that time. He smiled at me in a devilish way, like he
had won the game I hadn't known we were playing. “That wasn't so hard to say,
now was it?” His voice was playful, covering an almost palpable passion that
hid just below the surface. He was holding on by a thin thread himself, his
immense self-control dissipating rapidly. “Say it again...”
“I want
you,” I replied with a purr, joining in with his little game. Judging by the
response my words garnered, I had won.
If you're dying to know more about me, allow me to put you at
ease. I'm a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cancer, who loves vegetable smoothies,
winter storms, and the word 'portfolio'. I should NEVER be caffeinated, and
require at least eight hours of sleep to even resemble a human being. At
thirty-four, I just now feel like I can keep a straight face while saying the
word "rectum" (which is actually a huge lie because I just laughed
out loud while reading this to my husband). I live with my iPod firmly affixed
to my body, drive too fast, and laugh/cry at inappropriate times. I'm obsessed with urban fantasy... When
I discovered that genre, I knew I had found my tribe. Now I write in that world
because that's what the voices in my head tell me to do. And they are very,
very loud.
