She hadn't anticipated the added attraction of a beached freighter or the instant carnival that sprang up along the shore. Hugh MacDonough was one of the first to arrive. A salvage expert, he faced the awesome challenge of getting the Portia out to sea again. When Donna met Hugh she knew she'd found the perfect hero for her next book.
