The Deepest Ocean — Marian Perera

Love as strong as the tide. Betrayal as cruel as an undertow.

Eden Series, Book 2

Moments before he sets sail into pirate waters to rescue prisoners, Captain Darok Juell receives additional orders-to take a mysterious woman on board who will help him in his mission. When she arrives, she is unlike any woman he has ever seen. A cold, controlled operative of Seawatch, Yerena Fin Caller wields an iron hand over her emotions, and an almost magical control over a great white shark. On the surface, her orders are simple: use her shark to guide Darok through dangerous waters, attack any pirates who interfere. Her emotions must remain under lock and key, lest they travel along her delicate connection with the finned killing machine below. As she and Darok navigate the Strait of Mists into the Iron Ocean-and evade a killer-whale-controlling traitor-Darok's generosity and warmth coax Yerena to give in to desire. But they have no future together. Especially if Darok's legendary recklessness forces her to obey a secret order to send his ship to the bottom of the sea...

Warning: Contains naval battles, a shark that enjoys winning races, a woman who can control the shark-sometimes, the captain who wants her in his bunk, and hot sex on the high seas.
