A fated trip to the docks with her closest pal Annie leads to disaster. Ship Captain Lex Ford agrees to take Courtney and two of her friends on what was to be a quick trip to test a new boat. A dangerous storm traps them against a reef, damaging communications and stranding them at sea. Lex knew this was a bad idea... He hated having people on his ship with him. Ever since his partner left, he doesn't share his life with anything but the seagulls. So, when Courtney's friend Rafe offers him a deal on a new boat, he'd rather ignore the offer. His heart isn't ready for how he feels about Courtney, and watching her brave the elements after the storm makes him want to protect her. But the last woman he loved just walked away. And what about their age gap? He's far older than her. The Lord is good at turning bad situations for good, but can even He make this mess right? This Breakers Head novel is Kari Trumbo's final novel in the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
