Librarian's Note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B08DDD5XL6 Nerissa lives in a world of silence, Deaf since tragedy robbed her of her parents and her hearing in a single week. Her aunt wants her to settle down, but Nerissa would rather be alone than “settle.” She catalogs museum artifacts, a far cry from her dreams of running on her own archaeological dig, but she’s determined to forge a career despite her disability. When Nerissa gets a chance to supervise the excavation of an ancient shipwreck, she’s thrilled, until a disastrous encounter at a networking function with a hot Navy man mortifies her. It gets worse: he’s assigned as her new sign language interpreter. Lieutenant Nick Griffith loves Navy life, traveling the world and sampling all it has to offer, especially the women. He didn’t sign up to babysit some old professor scratching at the sea floor. Nick's shocked to find the archaeologist is the woman who dissed him at the party. Sparks fly, yet somehow she resists him. What the hell? As the dig uncovers priceless artifacts and stirs the ghosts of her past, Nerissa is beset with offers of “collaboration” from peers who want in. She falls hard for Nick. He's happy to bed her, but can she count on him if the wreck is spectacular enough to provoke murder?
Author

I write the things I love to read: steamy, fun stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, smart women and men who aren’t jerks. I like to read about friendships, either close women or a good bromance. I want all the feels: the thrill of a smoldering gaze or the barest brush of fingertips, the shocked gasp at the underhanded villain, the angst of heartbreak, the joy of reunion, and of course, happily ever after! I enjoy a sneak peek into intriguing groups, whether that be military personnel, medicine, or another culture like Greece. It’s fun to live vicariously and go sailing, diving, or rock climbing. A bit of danger always gets me going, so many of my Romances have a thriller subplot. I also write thrillers with a slow-burn romantic subplot. I love humor and am partial to witty banter and embarrassing situations! Love is funny sometimes! I hate to read the same old thing, with only the names and places changed, so my goal is to bring you a fresh, fun, NEW story every time, with NO CLIFFHANGERS! More than anything, I want a rollicking, great story that I can’t put down, one where love prevails in the end, one that will whisk me away from my own tribulations.
