No matter how far you run from your past, you can never outrun your heart. He never intended to step foot in Chandler, Maine again, but when his best friend is killed in a boat explosion, Coast Guard Officer Jamie Rivard is drawn back to investigate the connection between his death and a suspected smuggling operation. Going back to the place of his childhood means coming to terms with the tragic memories of his brother's death that tore his family apart, but what he finds will challenge his beliefs, and even the nightmares of his past aren't enough to guard his heart against a beautiful woman with troubles of her own. As a widow of a lobsterman, Shelby Teague knows the inherent risks of making a living from the ocean. She's all too familiar with how unforgiving it can be. So, when reality hits close to home again and her brother disappears, she finds herself pushed to face her fears and search for answers, aligning herself with a mysterious stranger with more than a few secrets of his own. NOTE: Obsidian is a full-on, stand-alone mystery with a sweet romance and enough heart and soul of Maine to make even the hardest heart soften just a bit.
