"Dina Silver's deftly woven tale has all of my
favorite fictional elements: romance, action and adventure, and a
knock-your-socks-off ending. The Unimaginable is simply
superb."
~ Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times
bestselling author of On the Island.
From the author of One Pink
Line comes a story about letting go of the past and finding
bravery in the depths of fear. Set on the sun-soaked beaches of Thailand and
the rough waters of the Indian Ocean, The
Unimaginable paints a vivid portrait of a young woman on a
journey to find herself—and her harrowing fight for survival.
After twenty-eight years of playing by the rules, Jessica
Gregory moves from her small Indiana town to Phuket, Thailand. But her newfound
routine is upended with the arrival of Grant Flynn, a captivating, elusive man
who is sailing around the world while trying to move on from a past tragedy.
Jessica volunteers to help crew Grant’s boat, Imagine, on a passage across the
Indian Ocean and finds herself falling in love with him as the voyage gets
underway. But when disaster strikes, Jessica must summon her courage as the
crew is confronted by unspeakable terrors––and, aboard a boat named for such
promise, comes the unimaginable.
His hand and fingers were slowly caressing my right arm just
above the elbow, and every time he paused my heart would skip a beat. I swallowed
the lump in my throat and tried to muster the strength to lift my head and look
him in the eyes. I wanted to know that things were good between us and there
were no hard feelings. His eyes would give me the answers. The eyes always say
more than the mouth.
I shifted my body toward him ever so slightly, curling myself even further into his embrace. He tightened his grip on me and then continued to move his hand up and down, rubbing away the chills. I closed my eyes, counted to ten, then opened them and lifted my chin. He immediately looked down at me, stopped moving his hand, and squeezed hard, forcing the tips of his fingers into my arm. I froze. He studied my eyes and then looked away, loosening his grip.
My breathing intensified as I brought my hand to his cheek, brushing my thumb across his stubble and turning his face back to mine. He shifted his body, threaded his fingers through my hair, and rested them at the base of my neck. Just as I inhaled, he bent down and pressed his lips to mine. First, hard and firm, then soft and exploratory as he parted my lips with his tongue. My head went back, and my body fell forward into his arms as his hands tugged at my hair and the back of my shirt.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” I whispered.
“Yes,” he said without a second thought.
He was lifting my legs up onto the bench under the weight of his body when we heard someone cough.
