About this ebook

A second-chance romance in the gorgeous blue waters of the Bahamas.

Losing her had been the equivalent of drowning. No oxygen, no air, no breath.

Dr. Missy Rembert interned at Shark Lab in the Bimini Islands when she was a graduate student, and although she decided to change her field of study from sharks to cephalopods, one thing marked her time there—a fling with Josh McKittrick. Now she’s back in the Bahamas as part of a team exploring a blue hole, and she’s stunned to come face-to-face with the only man she’s ever regretted losing.

Dr. Josh McKittrick never thought he’d see Missy again. After their brief relationship at Shark Lab went south, he was forced to put her out of his mind and work became his haven. He knew she’d switched her research focus, so he was certain they’d never cross paths. He should’ve known better, because seeing her now is bringing back all the old feelings. Missy was the only woman who had broken his heart, and he’ll be damned if he goes through it a second time.

Don’t miss an exclusive bonus story – Deep Blue Hawai’i – featuring Grace and Alec from the novel DEEP BLUE.

Dr. Grace Mann and her boyfriend, underwater filmmaker Alec Galloway, are in the Aloha State for a Galloway family Christmas. While surfing Pipe is on the agenda for the boys, Grace finds a way to get in the water with tiger sharks, but can Alec convince her to stay on dry land long enough for an important question?

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely loved this novella in the Pathway Series! This story follows Missy and Josh as they find their way back to each other after years apart. The pair unexpectedly meet again when they go to the Bahamas to explore a blue hole. I love how this book goes back and forth from the past to the present as the story unfolds. If you're an ocean lover who likes a good romance, this book is for you!

I really enjoyed Josh and Missy's story. They meet while serving an internship at the same place and have a strong connection from the beginning. Her father does and things change. The meet again on a work project and still have this connection. This is a great second chance romance book that captivated me from the beginning. I also enjoyed the short story at the end that gives a catch-up with Grace and Alec.

Missy and Josh are on a sightseeing trip in the Bahamas for the blue hole , when they re-discover each other . A lovely second chance romance ideal for the beach. I read an advance copy and my review is my own words and voluntary
