Part of Alaskan Courage
First published 2012
Bailey Craig steps off a plane in Yancey, Alaska, for the first time in ten years. She came to bury someone she loved, killed when a plane went down over cold water. She planned to leave fast. Then two deep-water divers turn up dead, and a single piece of evidence points toward something deliberate. Bailey's expertise makes her hard to sideline. Cole McKenna has pulled bodies from dangerous dives and faced down threats to his town. Seeing Bailey again is harder than any of that. She left Yancey and took his heart with her, and he never quite recovered. But the woman standing in front of him now is not the girl who walked away. They have to work together. The body count keeps climbing, and whoever tampered with that plane is still out there. Bailey and Cole carry ten years of damage between them, and the investigation keeps pushing them closer. The truth is somewhere under the water. Getting to it means neither of them can keep running from what they left unfinished.
