NOW, THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE HER CAREER IS TO STEP ONTO THE BOAT OF THE MAN WHO HATES HER MOST. Piper Thorne was the girl who got out. The brilliant, ambitious scientist who left the rugged docks of Kodiak Falls for the prestige of a laboratory—and left Rhys “Anchor” Montgomery standing on the pier with a shattered heart and a ring in his pocket. Now, she’s back, her reputation in tatters after a corporate setup. To clear her name, she has to prove that a massive chemical spill is poisoning the Alaskan waters. But no captain in town will take her out to the fjords. No one except the man who looks at her with nothing but cold, hard resentment. Rhys Montgomery doesn’t want her on his boat. He doesn’t want her in his sight. And he certainly doesn’t want to remember how she used to taste like salt and sunshine. But as the captain of The Obsidian, he knows the water better than anyone—and he’s the only one who can help her stop the environmental disaster threatening their home. Trapped on fifty feet of steel and diesel, there is nowhere to hide. Between the violent Alaskan squalls and the cramped quarters of the research vessel, the ice between them begins to crack. Watching Piper fearlessly dive into freezing depths to save the ocean reminds Rhys why he fell for her. Watching Rhys masterfully navigate a killer storm reminds Piper that he was always her true north. But someone doesn’t want the truth to come to the surface. As corporate saboteurs close in and the ocean turns deadly, Piper and Rhys must decide if they’re going to drown in the past—or if they’re brave enough to weather the storm together.
