Why this must be read:

This is a quiet little gem of a story, atmospheric and full of lovely characterisation. JC is stranded somewhere in the Florida Keys. To his great embarrassment, Nick Carter (who can skipper his own boat) turns up. Beautifully written, with lots of intriguing little questions and discoveries turning up as you read.


Something was bumping his boat, and that didn't seem right. He stepped carefully to the edge, the side where he was tied to the dock, and there was another boat there. Almost a twin of his own, big and white and expensive-looking, and someone was tying it to the other side of JC's dock. JC wasn't sure how he felt about that. On the one hand, company was nice. On the other, having neighbors was always a dicey thing, and he'd been feeling a little proprietary about this dock.

Gleaming gold caught his eye, and he watched admiringly as the big man tying up the boat finished off the knot with professional efficiency, and jumped lightfooted from his boat to the dock. When JC'd tried that he'd fallen into the ocean. But this guy was good, and shirtless, and so tan that his pale hair almost looked white, and covered in tattoos including a really cool one down his sp-

JC meeped and ducked down behind the big cooler that had once contained beer.
