With more bestsellers in the last two years under her various pseudonyms than
Michael Crichton and
John Grisham combined, there's no denying that Jayne Ann Krentz is one of the reigning queens of romance. In
Deep Waters, Krentz demonstrates the quick wit, keen plotting, and expert characterization that took her to the top of her field. Set in the Pacific Northwest,
Deep Waters is the story of two powerful corporate players who encounter secrets, lies, and hidden treasure in a quaint coastal town, far from the city lights of Seattle. Charity Truitt can't escape the ever-escalating panic attacks that have plagued her over the last four months. Desperate to escape a loveless engagement and an impending nervous breakdown, Charity flees to Whispering Waters Cove, a tiny seaside community. There Charity meets Elias Winters, a major player in the Pacific Rim trade, a man with a past too painful to forget. When the sleepy town is rocked by a killer on the loose, the two unite to catch the murderer. It's the undeniable connection between the two that runs deep in this passionate tale of intrigue.

From Library Journal
Burned-out Seattle CEO Charity Truitt and infamous corporate consultant Elias Winters meet in the small town of Whispering Waters Cove, where Charity has found happiness running her own bookshop and Elias has inherited a curiosity shop. Charity has just broken an engagement and Elias is mourning the recent death of his mentor. Their budding romance is further complicated by clashing business interests, a spaceship cult, and murder. Adventure, humor, romance, and a great supporting cast of characters add up to another very enjoyable novel by veteran author Krentz, who also writes witty regencies as Amanda Quick. Fans will be eagerly awaiting this novel. Highly recommended for public libraries.
