Lost in the River of Grass

"I don't realize I'm crying until he glances at me. For a moment, I see the look of anguish in his eyes, then he blinks it away and slips off into the water. I immediately think of the gator.

When an opportunity for an unauthorized side trip on an air boat presents itself, it seems like a perfect escape―an afternoon without feeling like a sore thumb. But one simple oversight turns a joyride into a race for survival across the river of grass. Sarah will have to count on her instincts―and a guy she barely knows―if they have any hope of making it back alive.
