Publisher Description
She swims with great white sharks.
And he will film it …
“I’m going to freedive with the whites. I know you have a lot of experience filming sharks, but this will be different. You’ll likely have to leave the cage. I need to know you’re up for it.”
Dr. Grace Mann knows great white sharks. As the daughter of an obsessed shark researcher, Grace spent her childhood in the company of these elegant and massive creatures. Now, finally, she’s testing a prototype shark array that may lead to a reliable alert system for swimmers and sharks to coexist. All that stands in her way are two men—her ex, Brad Michaels, fellow shark researcher and the man trying to steal her work, and Alec Galloway, an underwater filmmaker hired to produce a documentary about Grace’s project. Grace mixed her work and love life before and it was a disaster. No matter how sexy Galloway is, she won’t make that mistake again …
Alec Galloway prides himself on being the best in the business, so he’s baffled when Dr. Mann rejects his application to capture her work on film. When her boss overrules her decision and gives Alec the job, he learns that winning over Grace won’t come easy. But Alec is accustomed to dealing with unpredictable creatures, and Grace’s passionate focus on great whites puts her in a class of danger all her own. As his fan-boy crush on the woman quickly turns into something more, his greatest competition turns out to be the sharks themselves.

*****
Kristy McCaffrey writes romances with compelling heroes and determined heroines mixed with high adventure. Life is a wondrous endeavor and she strives to bring that sense of awe and joy into the tales she weaves. DEEP BLUE is a full-length HEA novel with strong language and medium spice. What it’s not? The typical Jaws story – no sharks or humans die. In fact, you might develop a soft spot for these perfect predators of the ocean.
Customer Reviews
Deep Blue
Absolutely LOVED this book. Stayed up all night reading. Couldn’t put it down. Loved the facts along with the romance.
I never leave reviews, but just had to for this one.
Deep Blue - a women in STEM book
I really enjoyed this mixture of science and romance. I also have a new appreciation for great white sharks — fascinating information.
Oceanic scientific study
You had me with the title! I love the ocean, still miss the Pacific from having lived in Orange County 35 years ago! It is the only place I ever feel total peace also the one place I can consistently breathe due to a lack of allergens, true bonus there! The Great White Shark information is fascinating! Not sure I want to up close and personal, like Grace does but still 80 years old an pregnant is astounding!
I think this book and subject matter is well worth the read! Recommended!
