Description:
Marine biologist Gaea Maxwell has better things to do than sit around and steam about the betrayal of her ex-fiancé, Xavier, so she gladly turns her attention to studying the elusive blue whale. While tracking down the whales in the frigid Russian waters, Gaea is surprised to find a man that fascinates her more than her research; corporate attorney Micah Cavanaugh. Sent to recruit Gaea for an academic position, Micah is prepared to meet a dry scientist, but the beautiful and intelligent woman he finds peaks his interest, and a startling passion ignites between the two. Though she acknowledges her attraction for Micah, Gaea rejects his offer, and returns to her home in Key West. Soon ex-fiancé and boss Xavier starts to turn on the charm and refuses to accept her rejection, a game Gaea participates in only to keep the peace. When Micah arrives on her doorstep with romantic intentions, and a mystery man begins to follow her around town, Gaea finds she is caught in a tangle of her growing love for Micah, her fear of Xavier, and her curiosity over the strange man that she is drawn to. With a tight plot line and rich characters, Out of the Blue is a thoroughly enjoyable read. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
