When shark researcher Grace Mann accompanies her boyfriend, underwater filmmaker Alec Galloway, to Western Australia for a commercial shoot with great whites, she envisions relaxing days in the sun and smoldering nights between the sheets. But as Alec’s mood becomes increasingly distant, Grace worries the chemistry they shared—so effortless in the beginning—was starting to fizzle. Is his reticence related to her, or something else? And can she find a way to help him get the footage he needs before his behavior places his life in danger?

This short story is the second book in the Pathway Series. The story continues as Grace follows her boyfriend to a commercial shoot in Australia with the great whites. I enjoyed following along as these two have doubts of their relationship. As always, Kristy McCaffrey pulls you into the happenings from the beginning with her wonderful characters and storylines. Looking forward to the next. JudyE
I just finished reading Deep Blue, and Deep Blue Australia by Kristy McCaffrey - what wonderful books. I've found that sharks are quite fascinating. Both the full book (Deep Blue) and the short story are wonderful. The characters are well developed and the story line keeps you reading "one more chapter".
Great short story that follows the book Deep Blue. Grace Mann and Alec Galloway have another adventure together that propels this couple closer together. A sweet follow-up Romance to be original Deep Blue shark story. Loved them both!
