FBI dive instructor Jessie Madison's survival skills are stretched to breaking point when she is plunged into danger in this exhilarating thriller - the first in a pulsating new series.
Jessie Madison escaped to the Bahamas when she made a terrifying discovery at home and a bad decision got her dismissed from FBI dive training. Now, Jessie is ready to return home to restart her career - and stop living in fear - but her last weekend in paradise turns to disaster when she and a friend are attacked on a boat and thrown overboard, with devastating consequences. Jessie's determined to bring their attackers to justice. Who are they? What were they looking for on the boat? And can she trust Nick, the handsome but enigmatic stranger who claims he wants to help her? Jessie must draw on all her underwater and investigative skills if she is to stay alive long enough to get answers - and hope her past doesn't catch up with her first . . .
