A Touch of Light and Dark Tamsen Schultz

When Power Goes to the Highest Bidder

Dr. Nia Lewis is as comfortable dancing the night away as she is in the quiet underwater world she's been appointed to protect as the head of the Caribbean Marine Research Center. But when her team discovers a group of fish behaving in a way they've never seen, and there's a subsequent break-in at her lab, she knows that whatever is going on is something bigger than what she, or her center, can handle.

FBI Agent Jake McMullen doesn't mind working with Dr. Lewis-not one bit. After all, she's one of his closest friends and, despite some pesky little flutters of attraction, there's no one he'd rather spend his time with. And if the assignment also means spending time underwater? Well, the former pro-surfer couldn't think of a better gig. That is, until they discover a body resting on the ocean floor, designer drugs cropping up at island hotspots, and tourists committing inexplicable crimes.

What should have been a straightforward investigation uncovers a threat to the islands neither Jake nor Nia would have ever foreseen-especially when the name of an old nemesis is linked to it all. And with not one, but two hurricanes headed directly for them, the only question is, can they keep the islands they love from being a pawn in a powerful conspiracy?

If you're drawn to beauty edged with darkness, you'll want to dive right into this exhilarating mystery.
