Adrift in a lifeboat with strangers, each holding a deep secret...Leah Taylor prefers the quiet adventure and romance of books, but during a cruise with her parents, a terrorist attack leaves her adrift in a lifeboat with strangers. University student, Blue McCree impresses her immediately with his knowledge of literature and philosophy, but equally thrilling is strong, dark, Musir. While Musir is slow to speak, translating his thoughts from Arabic to English, his chivalry and wisdom capture Leahs curiosity. Together they face danger after danger as they fight for survival. Leah also struggles with the growing attention from the men she is stranded with, and her mixed emotions toward them. When Leah learns the dark secrets her fellow survivors hold, the truth will blow apart any semblance of civility and test Leahs preconceived notions of just how far dedication can go before it crosses over into fanaticism.
