abxc-judyJoy; a very different romance. This is the third Christmas since his wife, Skye, died. And the third Christmas since his sister Erika, is in a wheelchair after a car accident, and since his son Chris, became mute. David, the owner of a research institute and seagoing vessel, hires Jean as a bottom diver - to scuba dive and clean the hull of his boat. Somehow, hewinds up hiring her as a research assistant on his boat, then within 2 weeks, proposing marriage. But there's a dark undercurrent in David and surrounding Skye's death. Interwoven in the tale is a very good companion theme of Tae Kwon Do. Jean is a black belt, but it turns out that David is a master black belt - and some of their fights are really Korean sparring.
