They know the power and peril of the ocean.

But as they get closer to the deadly truth…

An even greater danger lurks just beneath the surface.

When an accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent to take the case. Tensions surrounding the oil rig are high and the death has everyone on edge. Environmental activists are threatening to do whatever it takes to stop the structure from being completed, while rumors are being whispered about ancient curses surrounding this part of the ocean.

Mounting evidence shows the death may not have been an accident at all. Was he killed by one of the activists or, perhaps more frighteningly, a member of his own crew? Rissi and Mason have to sort through not only a plethora of suspects, but also their own past and attraction to each other.

Just as the case seems like it’ll break open, worse news arrives. A tropical storm has turned their way and soon they’re cut off from any rescue–and right where the killer
wants them. It’s a race to discover his identity before he eliminates the threat they pose.

My Review:

Book two in this series picks up and jumps right into action and intrigue. A Coast Guard profiler and a diver have a death to solve. Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are these investigators and they grew up in the same foster home. All these years later, they are now partners and this case could be lethal. I liked the romance, it was well balanced. There's a lot of water, and I don't mean just "under the bridge". Then there are evil environmental activists. Set on the coast of North Carolina this book didn't disappoint me at all. I look forward to more books by this author.
