Tranquil, that is, until a routine trip over the reef reveals the body of her newest employee - diver Jerry Sharpe. But when his brother, Jonas, shows up asking questions, Liz can't see how she can help. She barely knew Jerry. Then someone breaks into Liz's apartment, intent on her murder. Liz realises that she is already more involved in Jonas' quest to unravel Jerry's murky past than she wanted to be. And now Jonas and Liz will be drawn into a dangerous criminal underworld that could cost them both their lives...

Typical Nora Roberts, excellent twist-filled mystery and plenty ofromance A single mother who gives everything for her child, even letting her be away for months to get a better education. A successful business, a dive shop, she created from nothing. A murder of one of her employees starts a chain of events that tangle her up with drug dealers. The arrival of the brother of her murdered employee not only creates more mystery to untangle, but also makes her feel emotions she closed off when she made the decision to raise her daughter alone.A great read which has everything I’ve come to expect from Nora Roberts. The setting, coast of Mexico, fits everything you need from this story. I love the characters who populate this book and the emotion is perfect. Not too gooey, just enough that it feels right and the mystery is not obvious and is resolved perfectly.Drug Smuggling, murder, scuba diving and lots of action/suspense. Liz was a strong, independent woman who knew what she wanted. After finding herself pregnant by the man she loved, she found out that he had had no intention of making a life with her, especially after his parents threatened to cut off his money for college. He was studying to become a lawyer. He refused to become a father, threatened her, gave her a check and told her to end the pregnancy. She left the united States and went to Cozumel. She worked in a hotel as a maid, pregnant, until she had saved enough money to start her own dive shop. She expanded to two diving boats, a fishing boat, and a glass-bottom boat. She did all this for her daughter. That was the most important person to her. She stayed away from men. While her daughter was in Houston with her grandparents during the school year, Liz rented her daughters bedroom out to a man who was murdered. He worked for Liz, His twin brother showed up, shocking Liz. Demanding to know the answers to a lot of questions that she had no answers for. While searching for these answers, Jonas realized that Liz had unknowingly been drawn into a situation she knew nothing about. It appears his twin brother had been involved in drug smuggling and had stolen some of the money and product. The drug dealers went after Liz demanding to know where it was. Jonas moved in with her to protect her and they worked together with the police to try to find answers. Jonas realized the more time he spent with Liz and the more he found out about her, the more he was falling in love. Now if he could only convince her...and keep her safe. Lots of action and suspense. Several twists and turns. A good read.Not one of her best I love all of Nora's books from the 80s through the early 2000s. As time goes on, they seem less original and less captivating. It was a quick read. But I would rather have read one of the many free books through prime vs paying $3 for this one.
