Always Ready — T.A. Chase

Making a living on the Bering Sea is hard enough, but throw love into the equation, and things can blow into a hurricane. Senior Chief Dean Jake' Jacobson loves his job as a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. Saving lives is the second best thing he could ever do. The first is loving Phil Rhody' Rhodes. Phil is a third generation crabber who fishes the Bering Sea. Being gay and in love with Dean isn't something he talks about, especially not with the six men he lives with on the Angela Kayla for weeks on end. But he's been happy with his life. Until one day the Bering Sea reminds them that she is a dangerous place to work. As her icy waters surround them, they discover one truth. Dean and Phil must always be ready to love each other because life can be taken so easily when one works on the sea.
