Epilogue

AVERY STARED OUT across the crystal-clear blue sea. As long as she lived, the view would never get old.

She felt Knox’s strong arms circle her waist from behind.

“What are you doing out here, Dr. Walsh?”

While her business had definitely taken a hit thanks to McNair’s announcement about her lack of a PhD, it turned out things hadn’t been quite as bad as she’d feared. It helped that McNair himself had been exposed as a fraud and high-level drug dealer. Although, that information didn’t change the truth about her own duplicity.

Yes, she’d lost clients, but she deserved that. What had surprised her was the number of people who felt the same way Knox did—that she was an expert with or without the degree.

But completing her PhD had become something she needed to do for herself. So as soon as she could, Avery had contacted Texas International University to begin the process of finishing her program. And would hopefully have everything squared away in the next few months. Making that call had been difficult, but Knox had been right beside her.

Just as she’d been by his side as they’d dealt with the fallout from McNair and the hurricane.

In the aftermath it had become clear that McNair was a major player in the Caribbean drug market.

The task force had taken his wounded accomplice into custody, a man they’d been trying to capture for several years. With the evidence found on McNair’s ship, they’d also arrested most of his crew.

Ben had been spared arrest but lost his position with Trident. McNair had been blackmailing him as well. What had saved him in the end was the fact that when Avery went after McNair, Ben had tried to take down the drug runner, getting injured in the process. But that had given Avery enough time to get a shot off and at least incapacitate McNair.

What had made Avery sick was the quantity of sophisticated explosives they’d found on board McNair’s launch, no doubt intended for the Chimera. They’d come so close to losing everything.

Luckily, everyone had made it back to land in time to seek shelter from the hurricane, which had changed course, moving out to open sea.

The storm had skirted the Chimera’s location so she hadn’t taken a direct hit. They’d still had to spend several weeks surveying the wreck just to be safe, but she’d come through without any damage.

Although the close call made the entire Trident team eager to move forward with the salvage as quickly as safety would allow.

Now, six weeks later, the wreck was stabilized and they were ready to see what secrets she held.

The excitement was palpable.

Avery was just grateful the Trident team was allowing her to stay on the project.

“You ready for this, doc?” Knox whispered against her ear.

Leaning back into his arms, Avery realized that with him she could tackle anything.

Together they’d gone to visit Melody. She’d loved introducing him to her sister. They’d hit it off immediately. Melody smiled softly every time Knox came into the room.
