The perfect family reunion is about to enter dangerous waters.

With the ghosts of her past finally behind her, Claudia Mercer is ready to rebuild her family. A luxury yacht voyage to Bermuda, celebrating her parents’ fortieth anniversary, promises a fresh beginning and perhaps even a little romance.

But Claudia can’t shake her doubts about the Aruba Belle and its larger-than-life captain. When a storm closes in and his increasingly reckless behavior puts everyone aboard at risk, their idyllic voyage becomes a fight for survival.

When passengers disappear, the possibility of murder leaves Claudia and her family wondering who they can trust, and whether the captain’s dangerous choices are part of something far more sinister.

From the beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the shores of Bermuda, AN OCEAN AWAY is at atmospheric mystery by Susan Thumm Paxton. This is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven’t read other books in the series.
