She never met her father, as he died in a plane crash twenty-eight years ago just before she was born. However, Dr. Libby Wilson has come home from the lower Forty-Eight to Alaska with a need to know whether someone murdered her father on the day he was to marry her pregnant mother, as she suspects his business partner killed him since the will was not changed, and he instead of his daughter or his fianc e inherited all.

Libby hires Carson Dodge to salvage her dad's plane that crashed into Evening Lake, Alaska. Carson admires Libby's courage, and agrees to help her with her quest by bringing up the plane as she wonders whether her theory will prove right. Meanwhile someone, she assumes her prime suspect, will do anything, including murder to prevent the plane rising out of the watery grave.

This action-packed thriller is made even stronger by the lead couple. Libby is fixated on the truth, and her obsession grips the decadent Carson who finds her bravery intoxicating; he believes he has EVERYTHING TO PROVE to her that he is her champion. The powerful lead couple and strong support cast, including the Alaskan geography make for a delightful exhilarating romantic suspense that the audience will read in one sitting.
