Twenty-nine-year-old Parker Colman is a Canadian Armed Forces Search and Rescue Technician-a man trained to jump into the worst conditions imaginable when someone needs help.
When three fishermen become trapped aboard a sinking vessel off the coast of Vancouver Island, Parker is lowered from a CH-149 Cormorant into a violent Pacific storm.
Then everything goes wrong.
His line is cut.
The vessel disappears beneath the waves.
And Parker disappears with it.
He should be dead.
Instead, Parker awakens battered and alone on an isolated beach. His equipment is destroyed. His locator beacon is smashed. Rescue could be days away.
But something doesn't make sense.
The terrible wound on his leg has been wrapped in a strange seaweed.
Something moves beyond the breakers.
Something watches him from the water.
And then she appears.
Black hair. Pale, impossibly smooth skin. Brilliant green eyes.
And a body that could never belong to a human woman.
Parker calls her Maddy.
They cannot speak to one another. They come from worlds that were never supposed to meet. Yet fascination quickly becomes trust. Trust becomes touch.
And touch becomes something neither of them can resist.
Maddy is beautiful, playful, seductive-and increasingly determined to draw Parker farther from the safety of the shore.
Parker knows people are searching for him.
He knows he should want to be found.
But every night Maddy returns, the life waiting for him beyond the beach becomes a little harder to remember.
Because the greatest danger Parker faces may not be surviving the Pacific.
It may be falling in love with what lives beneath it.
