 Another Anela Deen’s story about broken people from different worlds who find sanctuary in each other: A lonely and wary man who cannot admit his gentle heart; a kind woman surviving recent trauma whose life is about to change. The characters and their relationship are close enough to Beneath Cruel Fathoms to taint my enjoyment by comparison. If you enjoyed this book, I recommend checking Beneath Cruel Fathoms.

Deen shines in her character development; their emotions are palpable and the romantic tension thrilling. She's one of my favorite writers.
