Orphaned as a child in Russia, boat captain Sasha Petrov has spent most of her life adrift, anchored by only her loving foster family. So when they beg her to return to the family marina in Safe Harbor, Florida, for Mama Rosa’s sixtieth birthday, Sasha complies, hoping to put the past behind her. But Mama Rosa has other plans: she wants her three foster daughters to find Tony, the biological son who disappeared twenty years earlier.
Sasha agrees to try, but that’s easier said than done when bad boy Jesse Claybourne shows up, reigniting an old attraction. Back in Safe Harbor on a quest of his own, Jesse gets tangled up in Sasha’s search, and soon the two are close to uncovering an old town secret that some will stop at nothing to protect.
When Sasha’s dog and Jesse are attacked, they realize the past is hiding something more sinister than they ever imagined. Can they expose the truth without destroying Sasha’s family and breaking each other’s hearts, or are they sailing against the wind?
My Take:
I had never read a book by Ms Mann so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Let me say it was a great story filled with suspense, family relationships, characters’ insecurities and romance. Not a dull moment and it certainly held my attention.
The story centers around Sasha Petrov , Jesse Claybourne, and Sasha’s adoptive family.
Sasha is a boat captain .She has always been restless and doesn’t want to get close to people , for fear that she will hurt them. Her mother is ill and Sasha returns home for her Mother’s birthday and to help for a while.
Jesse Claybourne, a friend with whom she shared an attraction, is back in town after having had some bad luck and now is determined to win a boat race and start a racing team in Safe Harbor.
The characters are complex, and the plot thickens when Sasha’s mother asks her to find out what happened to Tony , the son that was presumed to have drowned but whose body was never recovered , as well as to who doesn’t want Jesse to participate in the race.
Be ready for a bumpy ride where you never know what’s around the corner.
