War is coming. Can love carry them through the rough waters that lie ahead?
It is 1941 and America teeters on the brink of war. Handsome and outgoing naval officer Ensign Jim Avery escorts British convoys across the North Atlantic in a brand-new destroyer, the USS Atwood. On shore, Jim encounters Mary Stirling, a childhood friend who is now an astute and beautiful Boston Navy Yard secretary.
When evidence of sabotage on the Atwood is discovered, Jim and Mary must work together to uncover the culprit. A bewildering maze of suspects emerges, and Mary is dismayed to find that even someone close to her is under suspicion. With the increasing pressure, Jim and Mary find that many new challenges–and dangers–await them.
ISLAND BREEZES
Jim and Mary haven’t seen each other since they were childhood friends. That was when he was not so secretly in love with the beautiful Quintessa. Now they’re both spending time in Boston at the Boston Navy Yard – she as a secretary and he as an ensign.
They pal around a lot and Mary’s feelings begin to be more than friendship. Maybe Jim is beginning to feel the same way. Of course, neither bothers to say anything about these new feelings.
In the meantime there’s plenty of intrigue and sabotage putting both their lives in danger. As they work to discover who’s behind it all, the danger only intensifies.
Top this off with Quintessa’s move to Boston in order to snag Jim. It looks as if once again Mary is ending up on the outside.
As usual, Ms Sundin, you had me on the edge of my seat, unwilling to lay down this book until I finished reading it. I’m really looking forward to the next book in your Waves of Freedom series.
