Summary

Rick Scanlon, captain of a rusty-hulled freighter, is watching the distant lights of the San Francisco shore line inch closer when a commuter plane skids across the bow of his ship and flops into the water. With Rick directing his crew, everyone on the plane is saved, including Dr. Patricia Kendall, a beautiful passenger who Rick personally saves from drowning. He finds that he can't take his mind off her after the rescue, and it isn't long before the two find themselves involved in a passionate romance. The well-publicized rescue brings in some much-needed business to Rick's operation, including a job from the DEA to help bust a drug ring in Hong Kong. At first, Rick is unaware that the agent leading the operation is actually loyal to the Taliban and is seeking a trove of treasure. To complicate matters, he encounters Dr. Kendall during his travels-and inadvertently involves her in the sting. To Rick, there would be nothing better than getting both the riches and the gorgeous doctor and living happily ever after-but that means going against both the Taliban and a raging ocean in a battle that could cost him his life.

Excerpts

Rick watched the Raleigh make a slow, arcing turn to get windward of the plane and create a lee while he listened to Jess's call. "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is the MV Raleigh about two nautical miles east of the Bay Bridge. A plane just hit our bow deck and then fell into the water off our starboard side, over!" "Motor vessel Raleigh. This is Coast Guard Station Oakland. Switch and answer on channel twenty-two, over." "Roger that. Switching and answering on twenty-two." But Rick didn't hear the answering chatter. He was on the ship's PA system. "All hands not on watch go topside! Prepare to take aboard stranded passengers from an airplane! Take all lifejackets available! Prepare to launch all lifeboats and rafts!" When Rick clicked off the PA system, Langton shouted, "Captain, the strong wind will set the ship down on the plane! We can't get too close! How quickly can you anchor?" "We are going to find out!" Rick replied.
