Hardened hero Drew Evans had thought his tragic past was behind him, until the woman he’d secretly loved—his best friend’s widow—stepped back into his solitary life.

Alison had never expected to see devastatingly handsome Drew again, the one man who made her feel the forbidden stirrings of passion. But could she trust him with the two most precious things in her life...her son and her heart?

“Uncharted Waters was a tremendous experience professionally and very satisfying on a personal level,” Linda says. “It is an emotional story about two ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. Alison Myers is a widow and young mother trying to rebuild her life after the loss of her husband. Drew Evans, a former navy search-and-rescue pilot, was her late husband’s best friend. Drew was there the night Alison’s husband died—and blames himself. These two people were meant to be together, but must first overcome the grief of losing a mutual loved one.”
