“A literary phenomenon” — Evening Chronicle

There’s nothing so deadly as the sea, and the man who survives it . . .

Clara Enys was finally living the dream. After years of grafting, she was the proud owner of Cornwall’s newest restaurant, The Lizard, named for the peninsula upon which it sat, perched high on a clifftop overlooking the sea. When she wasn’t whipping up culinary feasts, she volunteered at the nearby lifeboat station, serving as crew with a team who risked their lives regularly to save others. With no immediate plans to settle down, life was pretty much perfect.

When a distress signal comes through one stormy night from a luxury yacht, Clara is ready to answer the call.
Too late to save the vessel, they search raging seas for survivors—but find only one . . .

A man with no name, no memory, and the capacity to turn her world upside down.
