Stranded (Alaskan Courage Series #3)

by Dani Pettrey

Overview

When Her Friend Goes Missing,
Every Minute Counts

Darcy St. James returns to Alaska to join a journalist friend undercover on the trail of a big story. But when Darcy arrives, she finds her friend has disappeared. Troubled by the cruise ship's vague explanation, Darcy uses her cover as a travel reporter to investigate further.

The last person Gage McKenna expects to see during his summer aboard a cruise ship leading adventure excursions is Darcy. And in typical Darcy fashion, she's digging up more trouble.

He'd love to just forget her--but something won't let him. And he can't help but worry about her as they are heading into more remote regions of Alaska and eventually into foreign waters. Something sinister is going on, and the deeper they push, the more Gage fears they've only discovered the tip of the iceberg.

"The third book in Pettrey's Alaskan Courage series ratchets up the action and suspense. It's difficult to stop yourself from peeking ahead to the end, but the ride is worth the anxiety." --RT Book Reviews

"Dani Pettrey has delivered another incredibly compelling adventure in Alaska. STRANDED is full of suspense, beautiful rugged wilderness and white-water rapids, and a heartfelt romance. I loved catching up with the McKenna family." - Dee Henderson, New York Times bestselling author

Editorial Reviews

09/15/2013
Reporter Darcy St. James takes a job on a cruise ship to investigate the mysterious disappearances of female passengers, a story that had been uncovered by a friend and fellow journalist who has gone missing herself. Gage McKenna's outdoor adventure company has contracted with the cruise line to provide camping trips for passengers. When he realizes Darcy is investigating undercover, he thinks she's the same obsessed reporter he knew before, but as her investigation becomes more dangerous, he realizes she's changed and wants to get to know the new Darcy better, if they both survive. VERDICT Pettrey delves into human trafficking in her latest tale of romantic suspense, which also revisits the McKenna family from Submerged and Shattered. Series followers and readers who enjoy Lynette Eason, Irene Hannon, and DiAnn Mills will add this to their to-read list.
