Synopsis

When asked what he does for a living . . .

Commander Mark Bishop is deliberately low-key: "I'm in the Navy." But commanding the ballistic missile submarine USS Nevada, keeping her crew trained and alert during ninety-day submerged patrols, and being prepared to launch weapons on valid presidential orders, carries a burden of command like few other jobs in the military. Mark Bishop is a man who accepts that responsibility, and handles it well. And at a time when tensions are escalating around the Pacific Rim, the Navy is glad to have him.

Mark wants someone to come home to after sea patrols. The woman he has in mind is young, with a lovely smile, and very smart. She's a civilian, yet she understands the U.S. Navy culture. And he has a strong sense that life with her would never be boring. But she may be too deep in her work to see the potential in a relationship with him.

Gina Gray would love to be married. She has always envisioned her life that way. A breakup she didn't see coming, though, has her focusing all her attention on what she does best--ocean science research. She's on the cusp of a major breakthrough, and she needs Mark Bishop's perspective and help. Because what she told the Navy she's figured out is only the beginning. If she's right, submarine warfare is about to enter a new and dangerous chapter.

From Booklist

Henderson continues the story line from Unspoken (2013), as readers meet Gina Gray, a prodigy who started college at age 14 and discovered a top-secret way for submarines to view the depths of the ocean undetected, but has always aspired to the roles of wife and mother. That dream looks doomed when her boyfriend dumps her. She heads to the West Coast, where her brother, Jeff, a naval submariner, is based. There she puts her prodigious science skills to work trying to make the submarine fleet safer. Mark Bishop, a widowed commander of a nuclear submarine, has decided to remarry, but has to find a woman who will be as strong, smart, and compatible as his late wife. Jeff tries to play matchmaker, but Gina and Mark believe that their age difference is too great. Although Henderson goes a bit overboard in her intricately detailed descriptions of submarines, this leisurely paced tale of friendship evolving into love will strongly appeal to fans of evangelical Christian fiction. --Diana Tixier Herald
