An artist in glass and light, Angel has loved with passion and fire—and learned the true depths of sadness when what she loved was taken from her. When she first meets Miles Hawkins—a solitary, distant man—their mutual mistrust seems insurmountable. Hawk has never known what Angel has freely enjoyed, having experienced only cruelty and betrayal from the women in his life. But Angel is willing to risk everything that proud, silent Hawk cannot, as she strives to bring truth and love to a tormented soul who believes in neither. Yet giving her heart again could be a gamble with stakes too high and too painful for her to endure—for she fears that, by loving Hawk, she will surely lose him.

He rescued her from the storm—but could he save his heart from her love? Without warning, a ferocious storm in the Queen Charlotte Islands plunged Janna Morgan into the frigid sea. But before she could sink into the depths of the choppy waters, an arm reached out through the darkness, pulling Janna to safety. Her savior was Carlson Raven, and he was as untamed and enigmatic as the sea he loved. Stranded together in a deserted paradise, Raven was instantly aware of his intense yearning for the courageous woman he'd rescued. And he was powerless to resist her beauty. But could Raven really believe that the look in Janna's eyes was love, and not merely gratitude?
