Janna Moran fights for her life in the churning waters off the Queen Charlotte Islands. The storm batters her until consciousness slips away. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself pressed against the chest of Carlson Raven, the man who pulled her from certain death. His dark eyes hold secrets she cannot read, but his touch brought her back from the edge. Now she must navigate the tension between gratitude and desire, between the safety he offers and the mystery he represents. Carlson saved her body from the sea, but Janna discovers that her heart faces a different kind of danger entirely. In the aftermath of rescue, two strangers must decide whether the connection forged in crisis can survive the complexities of real intimacy.
