“Stop,” I say. “Don’t touch me.” His steps falter, but he doesn’t look away. He seems shocked and hurt by my words. “Don’t you fucking come near me.”
“I didn’t know.” He points to the door. “I didn’t—”
“Bullshit. Please, don’t lie to me. You’ve done enough of that in the past two weeks.”
“What?” he asks. “I’ve never lied to you. I would never. This is—”
“This is what?” I ask when he stops mid-sentence. “This is you stealing my job, Colin Kincaid!” I feel the venom spouting out of me when I speak his name. Everyone knows the Kincaid family. They’re rich and run one of the biggest renewable energy companies in the world.
“I didn’t steal a damn thing,” he hisses, then he catches himself, lowers his voice and says, “He’s been begging me to work for him for years.”
“Then why didn’t you?” I ask. “Why now?”
“Because I’ve been living in California for over a decade, just like I told you when we met. I wanted to move back to the East Coast. He said I’d be running things and wanted a Kincaid in charge.”
“Oh? I’ve never even heard of you before today. He’s never mentioned an architect nephew, and here you are taking the one thing he had promised me.” I point to myself. “You don’t even need this job.

When you’re crab fishing in the Bering Sea, one misstep can have devastating, even deadly, consequences.
Henrik, a grumpy crab fisherman living on Kodiak Island, has never been swayed by anything—not until Carina, a curvy, sweet-tempered marine biologist, catches his eye. He’s drawn to her by an unquestionable attraction that he can’t shake.
A former resident of the island, Carina returns home because the rapidly declining population of crabs in the Bering Sea troubles her. And although years have gone by, she’s still incredibly attracted to the brooding object of her teenage fantasies. And now he’s the captain of a crabber, and determined to protect the crabs too.
But getting to know him means she must face the childhood trauma that made her fearful of her first true love—the ocean. Will she be able to conquer the anxiety she’s held for so long? Can she once again entrust someone she loves to the sea?
Quotes:
Henrik-
Lord, this woman. The adjectives in my limited vocabulary don’t do her justice.
From the moment she opened her front door, I was completely captivated and mesmerized. And that fascination never wavered. It only grew stronger, reaching epic heights I’ve never experienced before.
Carina-
After years of harboring my fears, I’ve realized each one has made a delicate slice in my fragile heart, leaving it in ruins. But his words are sincere, honest, and full of love. The perfect salve to my anxiety.
