Samantha must work the trawler or her father faces losing it. Thrown together by the confines of the boat and by a series of misfortunes, Samantha and Chayse fight their feelings for each other. Even when they acknowledge their bond, each has secrets which could break the relationship apart. Despite this, however, the pair continue to work at solving the murder attributed to Sam's father. Perhaps if they can unravel that mystery they can begin to work out their other problems. Deadly Tide is the first gripping mystery title from author Sandy Curtis.
