SYNOPSIS:
From the author of One Pink Line comes a story about letting go of the past and
finding bravery in the depths of fear. Set on the sun-soaked beaches of
Thailand and the rough waters of the Indian Ocean, The Unimaginable paints a vivid portrait of a young woman on a
journey to find herself—and her harrowing fight for survival.
After twenty-eight years of playing by the
rules, Jessica Gregory moves from her small Indiana town to Phuket, Thailand.
But her newfound routine is upended with the arrival of Grant Flynn, a
captivating, elusive man who is sailing around the world while trying to move
on from a past tragedy. Jessica volunteers to help crew Grant’s boat, Imagine,
on a passage across the Indian Ocean and finds herself falling in love with him
as the voyage gets underway. But when disaster strikes, Jessica must summon her
courage as the crew is confronted by unspeakable terrors––and, aboard a boat
named for such promise, comes the unimaginable.
Excerpt:
His
hand and fingers were slowly caressing my right arm just above the elbow, and
every time he paused my heart would skip a beat. I swallowed the lump in my
throat and tried to muster the strength to lift my head and look him in the
eyes. I wanted to know that things were good between us and there were no hard
feelings. His eyes would give me the answers. The eyes always say more than the
mouth.
I shifted my body toward him ever so slightly, curling myself even further into his embrace. He tightened his grip on me and then continued to move his hand up and down, rubbing away the chills. I closed my eyes, counted to ten, then opened them and lifted my chin. He immediately looked down at me, stopped moving his hand, and squeezed hard, forcing the tips of his fingers into my arm. I froze. He studied my eyes and then looked away, loosening his grip.
My breathing intensified as I brought my hand to his cheek, brushing my thumb across his stubble and turning his face back to mine. He shifted his body, threaded his fingers through my hair, and rested them at the base of my neck. Just as I inhaled, he bent down and pressed his lips to mine. First, hard and firm, then soft and exploratory as he parted my lips with his tongue. My head went back, and my body fell forward into his arms as his hands tugged at my hair and the back of my shirt.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” I whispered.
“Yes,” he said without a second thought.
He was lifting my legs up onto the bench under the weight of his body when we heard someone cough.
