Rough Seas Ahead Candy Trading the heat of west Texas for the cold waves of the Drake passage, geologist Candy Brown has made a place for herself on board an Antarctic research vessel. Life isn’t easy for Candy. The chronic disease she struggles with along with a string of bad relationships have left little sunshine in her life. When a helicopter brings new faces to the boat, she doesn’t even bother greeting them, until she literally runs into the man who’ll be sharing her workspace.
