After hours of fighting a raging storm alone in the Bahamas, Elizabeth is relieved when her husband finally emerges from below deck to help. That is, until he pushes her off the sailboat and into the turbulent waters…

Luke thinks he’s rid of Elizabeth and free to start fresh with another woman when she disappears into the ocean. But Elizabeth miraculously survives the storm and is rescued. She chooses not to press charges against Luke, instead letting the fear of retribution haunt him.

Back on land, Elizabeth’s career in public relations flourishes as she excels at crisis management for high-profile clients and earns recognition for her innovative work. But her resilience is tested by assault and discrimination in the workplace, and by a move to the Northwest with a charming man who turns out to be a manipulative sociopath. After a harrowing escape and a fresh start in Colorado, Elizabeth's past with Luke resurfaces dangerously, forcing her to fight for her life. Navigating work and personal challenges, Elizabeth discovers her true strength, inspired by the natural world—and a significant encounter with a barracuda.
