Jillian Marshall is living her perfect dream. All she's ever wanted is to be a dolphin trainer, and she's going on eighteen years doing just that at Tampa's Marine Research Institute. Her devotion to education and her dedication to the conservation of marine mammals consume her heart and soul. Romance isn't exactly on her agenda.

When Laura Carter applied to the institute's thirty-six-week intensive training program, she left out one important detail—the tragic accident that changed her entire life and left her terrified of drowning. A brilliant animal behaviorist, Laura must decide just how hard she's willing to fight to fulfill her dreams and overcome her nightmares.

Falling in love is the easy part, but when Jillian puts her career on the line to help Laura overcome her fear, will she lose everything?
