About this eBook

There’s no quit in a Coast Guard investigator trying to save a woman from his past in this stormy thriller from the USA Today–bestselling author.

Marine biologist Sadie Strand is back in her coastal hometown to prove her best friend was murdered—but searching for evidence almost costs Sadie her life. Abducted, drugged and left for dead on a sinking boat, she’s barely rescued in time by Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent Gage Sessions, an old friend. Assigned to protect Sadie and connect three complicated cases, Gage risks his life time and again to make sure the woman he once loved survives. But although the handsome, guarded agent vows to protect her, someone will keep killing to ensure the truth never rises to the surface.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoy stories written about the Coast Guard and I don't seem to find many of them! I was delighted that this book's main character was a Coast Guard civilian special agent! I didn't even know they HAD civilian special agents! You can learn a lot by reading books :) The book begins by the near drowning of Sadie but a miraculous rescue by said special agent, Gage. I've come to expect this fast-paced type of story and great characters from this author. She does a great job of reeling me in from the first page and keeping me entertained through the whole book as she keeps me guessing! In this book we find Sadie, a marine biologist researcher, coming home to investigate her best friend's murder after it is determined an accident. She knows it isn't because she wakes up on a boat, about to drown and can tell that someone is trying to murder her too! Gage, who is the Coast Guard special agent, has been assigned a drug running case in the area so he connects with Sadie to investigate her friend's murder in connection with the drugs. The two of them suddenly are in the fight for their lives! Who is behind all of this? Who is trying to kill them??? Read the book to find out! I recommend this!
