Jeanie Munro is putting her life back together since her husband, and father of her two young children, walked out and left her with lots of debt. Two years later her flower shop is doing well, and she is happy. Rock McKenzie has come to Mossy Bog, Georgia to rest and recuperate from almost being killed when his fishing charter boat exploded.

He's also here looking for Jeanie's ex-husband, who Rock thinks stole his gold sovereigns. Rock and his boyhood friend and partner Tarpley found them off the coast on a treasure dive. He needs them back, or he has to relinquish the family journal he put up for collateral to get his charter business started. When Jeanie's shop and home are both plundered, Rock has another agenda, to keep Jeanie and her family safe from the thugs he believes are behind his boat explosion and the theft of his coins. Can he keep her safe and find his treasure without losing his own heart in the process?

Maggie Toussaint gives us another installment in her Mossy Bog series with ROUGH WATERS. This is my first visit to Mossy Bog, but I am a fan already. Filled with suspense at every turn, this story is a fast-paced adventure with some steamy romance filtered throughout the pages. Jeanie and Rock are strong solid characters who know what they want in life. Life has dealt them some hard knocks, but they keep bouncing back.

An eclectic mix of supporting characters and the quaint fishing village setting of Mossy Bog, make this story truly a romantic southern tale. It's a story about knowing what you want out of life and not letting the trials you face get in your way. I intend to read more of Ms. Toussaint's Mossy Bog stories, you should too. If romantic suspense is your genre, you won't be disappointed.
