Overview

In this gripping new standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, a star Manhattan chef must uncover his family's past to protect their lives-and his own.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Fern Micheals’ Standalone Hardcover Novels
 
"Dramatic, riveting and a delicious page turner." —Woman's World on Fearless
 
“Without giving too much of this fabulous, stirring, somewhat suspenseful, novel away before you get a chance to read it yourself, let me just say that CJ finds herself uprooted from everyone and everything she’s ever known, and placed (for her own protection) into a small New England town—on the water that took Kick from her… There are so many layers to this story; as each is peeled back and revealed to the reader, it’s the heart, soul, and resilience of CJ, a strong female character, that endears Deep Harbor to us.” —Delilah, Radio Host and Bestselling Author, on Deep Harbor
