Hearts in the Storm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692234495)

Trista's world has shattered. A bitter divorce and the heartbreaking death of her daughter have left her trapped in a spiral of grief and regret. Driven by nightmares of her daughter crying out for her, she is compelled to return to the site of the boating accident on the anniversary of her daughter's death. But the storm of a lifetime, Hurricane Renee, is racing toward the fragile barrier islands, threatening to ruin her perfect plan.

As the hurricane intensifies, only one person is willing to take on the perilous task of navigating the storm-an unpredictable, hard-drinking outcast known as "Duck." Though Trista dreads relying on this drunkard, her daughter's haunting call must be answered. What begins as a reluctant partnership soon grows into an unexpected relationship. As they grow closer, Trista uncovers the painful truth that Duck is tortured by a tragic past-his role in the death of his best friend.

Together, they steer a wave-battered boat into the heart of the storm. As their sinking vessel is buffeted by the howling winds of the hurricane, they fight to survive. In the end, their struggle for peace and healing will require them to confront not only the storm that rages around them but also the tempests that rage within.
