When Danger Took Root, Her Courage Grew Strong
And Rachel Emmons fled her violent marriage, seeking a safe haven. Her brave escape led her to the saving embrace of Ben Mitchell, the man who rescued her from the depths of the ocean and made her determined to heal .

Certainly Rachel possessed siren like beauty her widow's weeds could not hide, and the bruises she bore testified to secrets as deep and dark as any hidden beneath the waves. But could he help her see that happiness together was on her horizon?
