Father. Friend. Diver. Playboy. Cohen Covington has been through a lot in his life. He had it all and lost his dream, but now his son is his priority. An angry swim mom pushing him into the pool helps make him realize a change is in order. Friends and a new job offer him everything he thinks he wants. Mother. Doctor. Friend. Lover. Dr. Quincy Morris isn’t about to let any man disrespect her or her daughter again. Her ex-husband has too much power, but the Corrigans have more. Taking a job with them will bring her closer to her friends and give her the protection she needs. Until the idiot swim instructor from back home shows up in her exam room. Injury. Fear. Secrets. Love. Cohen works hard to win Q over, but just when it looks like things will work out, they’re both faced with their pasts. One of them will long for a second-chance to fix their past mistakes, while the other one runs away in an effort to protect themselves. Can they both forget the past and plan a future—or will they drown in the fear love can sometimes bring with it?
Author
2018 RWA Steffie Walker Bookseller of the Year 2016 RT Creative Initiatives Award Crystal Perkins has always been a big reader, but she never thought she would write her own book, until she sat down in 2014 and did it. She's now published over 40 books, and has been featured in several anthologies as well. She lived in Las Vegas for over a decade, where you could find her running author events and winning bookseller awards. She's was recently living in North Dakota to be closer to her family, but she is back in Vegas. When she's not reading a few hundred books a year or chasing after her grandson, you can find her watching hockey (Go Knights Go!) and trying to find the perfect shade of lipstick. She loves Star Wars AND Star Trek, but if pushed to choose, it will always be Leia and her crew who come out on top. Her love of all things nerdy comes through in her book characters, no matter the genre. A mac and cheese connoisseur, she travels the world looking for the perfect version, while attending book conventions and signings as a cover for her research. Poutine research is also conducted regularly on her trips. Her first series, The Griffin Brothers, followed four billionaire brothers, and the third book, Creating a Love, was a finalist for a multicultural award in 2014. Her second series, Corrigan & Co. featured a secret society of female spies in Las Vegas. She followed this with Society Girls, which offered a glimpse into the training of the women who are recruited into the Corrigan & Co. Foundation, and the Society. The Company Men series featured the relatives of her secret society of spies. Activate is a Young Adult Sci-Fi standalone novel, and A Kiss Is Just a Kiss is a Romantic Comedy standalone book. If you like something darker, you can find her Horror short stories in the Never Fear anthologies! She’s currently writing about modern day witches in her Burn series, and bridesmaids for hire who solve mysteries in The Maids! In 2020, she will also be starting a hockey novella series. Crystal loves hearing from her readers, so please feel free to send her an email, Facebook message, or Tweet! She's also on Instagram, where you can see her monthly reads!
