Anchored (The Everyday Heroes World) by Christine DePetrillo

ANCHORED is a broken alpha, healing hearts, rescue story with ocean views and a heat that has nothing to do with the California sunshine.
The only thing Colin Hayes wants to do is dive with his Navy team. After a rescue mission leaves him with a leg that’s no good for swimming anymore, that dream is dead. He may as well be dead too. Living in a small town in California across the street from his sister and being stuck running a marina fail to provide the excitement or the purpose his former life did. His future promises to be an endless stream of long, boring days. How will he survive?

Faith Brenton lost her best friend and teaching colleague to an accident. The joy she felt being an educator is buried under grief and extinguished by her administrator at Maplehaven High School in Vermont who doesn’t approve of her alternative teaching methods. Wanting to shake things up a bit, Faith enters a magazine contest and wins. The prize? A year-long adventure by sailboat. Perhaps she can reset her life with fair winds and full sails.

When Faith’s boat sinks near Colin’s marina, Colin dives in to save her. What he doesn’t expect is to be saved too.

Can two souls adrift anchor each other with love?
