Blurb:

Secrets have a way of revealing themselves. Sometimes they lead to heartache, but other times they surprise you and give you everything you need.

Edgar is the youngest in a generations-old crabbing family. He’s always known who and what he’d grow up to be. Until everything changes.

From the moment he picks up a welding torch, he knows his life will never be the same. Curiosity about what he can create leads him down the road to producing something truly magical. But how does he tell his family where his heart lies? And what happens when, because of his secret art, he meets an incredible woman who entices him in every way?

Simone, a sought-after art curator from New York City, has spent most of her adult life building connections and establishing an impressive reputation. Unexpectedly, she’s introduced to a new artist whose work stirs up intense emotions within her.

He wants to remain anonymous, but she needs to know more about this mystery man. She travels to his hometown of Kodiak, Alaska, to see what inspires his extraordinary art. While there, she meets a crab fisherman who captivates her, leaving her tied up in knots. The connection they share is intense and life-changing, much like the works of the secretive artist. Only, she can’t answer why. Nor can she figure out what, if anything, happens next with the small-town crabber. Because getting involved with a younger man who lives on the other side of the country seems impractical and foolish.

But could they make it work if all their secrets and fears were released?

Excerpt:

“You have a jacuzzi?” I ask, spotting it in the corner of his deck.

“I do. After hours of welding, a soak helps relax my tight muscles. It’s also good after a long season of fishing. Do you like them?”

I nod. “I do. I wish I’d brought my suit.”

He waggles his eyebrows. “You don’t need a suit. There aren’t any nearby neighbors, and the woods around my house are so dense, you’d be hidden from any peeping Toms.”

Smirking, I elbow him. “Wouldn’t you be a peeping Tom?”

He shakes his head. “No, I’d be an appreciative Adam.”

Laughing, I choke out, “I’ve never heard of him. What’s he like?”

Edgar grins. “Unlike Tom, he’s not creepy at all.” He licks his lips and adds, “From the moment his eyes are on your unbelievable body, you feel beautiful, seen, cherished, and adored.”

Damn. If he didn’t already have my heart, he would now. “You’re a smooth talker.”

“Only for you, Simone.” Taking my hand, he threads our fingers together and leads me toward the shed.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed Edgar's side job, his passion for it, while keeping his love for crabbing. I felt his apprehension about going public. Simone fell in love with his art before she met Edgar, but when she met him, their chemistry was instantaneous. They struggled with the distance and work schedules as they got to know each other. The heat grew as they got to know each other. I loved the supporting characters, their acceptance of his art, and their love for family and life. Well worth the read.
