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?
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
