Chesapeake Bay Saga #2

Ethan Quinn is a waterman. He wasn't born to the tradition but has embraced it. He's a quiet man whose heart runs as deep as the waters he loves. And now, with his father gone, Ethan is determined to make the family boatbuilding business a success. But amidst his achievements lie the most important challenges of his life...

There's a young boy who needs him, and a woman and child he loves but never believed he could have. To shape his life around them, Ethan must face his own dark past--and accept not only who he is but what he hopes to become.
