Now, two months sober and barely holding herself together, she's trying to rebuild what grief and alcohol destroyed. Her seven-year-old daughter. Her restaurant. Her life.
Then Indy walks onto her property with a toolbelt and a quiet smile, hired to fix her dock. He's kind. He's careful. He listens like her words actually matter. And when he looks at her, something inside her chest remembers how to feel again.
Some rescues happen in the water. Others happen after.

Just Revenge (#1)
I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life.
