Book Description
It wasn't called the Bermuda Triangle for nothing! Most people would have enjoyed vacationing in sunny Bermuda after being injured on the job. But for Mariah Conners, the timing couldn't have been worse. She wasn't just an FBI agent, she was a biomedical scientist. And the cancer research she was conducting just might help to save her supervisor's life. But her charismatic partner, Quinn MacAllister, wasn't giving her a choice. She needed a break, and he was going to make sure that she took one. Two glorious weeks of scuba diving, sailing, deep-sea fishing, water skiing, and horseback riding would refresh them both. Then their small charter plane went down in a freak electrical storm, and they found themselves cast adrift in the treacherous Bermuda Triangle with two spoiled teenagers and an elderly retired couple. The remote tropical island that sheltered them was lush and gorgeous--but it also held a deadly secret. And their old enemy, Bryce Spencer, was in hot pursuit! Could Mac and Conners keep their four unlikely companions alive, and escape the mysterious island, before Spencer killed them all?ÿ ~~~~~ÿ Excerptÿ ~~~~~ ?Mac!? Mariah stared in blank horror as the plane?s shattered nose sank beneath the choppy storm-darkened waves, leaving behind only a trail of shimmering bubbles. ?Mac!? Someone was holding her back, pleading with her, clutching her arms in a fierce paralyzing grip. ?Let me go!? she yelled, wrenching free despite the blazing pain in her shoulder. ?He?s my partner!? Saltwater stung her lacerated forehead as she plunged headfirst into the churning waves. She barely even noticed. ?Mac, where are you?? she shouted, awkwardly treading water. ?Mac!? The bubbles were slowly fading away. She had to act now, or it would be too late! She dove, kicking hard, following the plane?s lazy descent. Icy darkness enveloped her. Her lungs began to ache and fiery spots danced before her eyes, yet still she struggled deeper. She couldn?t give up, she just couldn?t! More rising air bubbles suddenly exploded in her face, blinding her. Then her groping fingers brushed against something slippery. Mac?s leather jacket! One last frantic surge of energy moved her weakening legs, propelling her upward again, dragging his heavy weight behind her. She couldn?t give up, she couldn?t? Please, Mac, don?t die! Cold rain suddenly lashed against her upturned face. Sputtering, she sucked in deep breaths of precious air. Lightning flared overhead, painfully bright against her dilated eyes. The iron bands constricting her chest slowly eased as she fought to keep Mac?s sagging head above the waves. ?Over here!? Reuben?s lilting voice cut through the howling wind, and she caught a brief glimpse of his pale face through the churning spray. ?We?re over here! Hurry!? Thunder rumbled in her ears as the heavy waves knocked her back and forth. Frigid water cascaded over her head, and she resurfaced with a strangled cough. Fresh pain lanced through her shoulder as she clumsily splashed toward the heaving orange raft. Her legs were going numb from the bitter cold, and she was so tired?but she had to keep trying! Mac?s life depended on her! Something hard stung her flailing hand. A rope? She wrapped stiffening fingers around it, and felt the waves tug harder in protest as the raft suddenly jolted closer. New energy surged through her aching frame when Reuben?s fingers locked around Mac?s limp arm, and pulled hard. ?Hurry!? she shouted. ?He?s not breathing!? Esther leaned out perilously far to help, and slowly they hauled his long body into the raft. Then it was Conners? turn, and she wanted to sob with relief as the ocean reluctantly loosened its death-grip on her thrashing legs. Mac was sprawled face-down in the sloshing raft. ?Help me roll him over!? she gasped, clutching her throbbing arm with bleeding fingers. Oh God, his lips were blue, and his open eyes were glazed. ?He can?t die, not yet!? Esther braced herself against the rolling waves, and pressed shaking fingers against his cold throat. ?He still has a pulse!? she shouted. ?It?s slow, but he?s still alive!? Both teenagers looked shell-shocked, too dazed to react. Conners ignored them, and focused on her partner?s deathly pale face. ?Come on, Mac, come on!? she chanted, thrusting hard against his inert diaphragm. ?Breathe!? Helpful hands steadied her as she bent to force air down his windpipe. Again. And again! Breathe, thrust? Breathe, thrust? Breathe, thrust? Suddenly his limp body convulsed, and a gush of salty water erupted from his open mouth. Conners tilted his head to one side and let the water drain. ?Breathe, Mac!? she ordered, pushing hard against his ribs one last time. ?Come on, damn it! Breathe!? He jerked again, and this time she heard the sweet rush of air filling his lungs. His chest began to rise and fall in a slow, rhythmic cadence as his taut muscles relaxed. Slowly his eyes flickered open, and he focused on her tear-streaked face. ?Hey!? His pale lips twitched into a faint teasing grin as they formed soundless words. ?You weren?t worried about me, were you?? For one crazy moment, she didn?t know whether to hit him or kiss him. Regulations be damned, this was a moment when she needed to touch him, just to reassure herself that he was still alive! ?Jesus, Mac, I thought I?d lost you! Don?t you ever do that to me again!? Lightning flashed overhead. He tried to push himself up on one elbow, but she laid a restraining hand on his chest. ?Lie still! You need rest!? Another huge wave crashed into the raft, drenching them with icy spray. Reuben wrapped his fingers tighter around the support rope, and leaned close enough to shout in her ear. ?How long will this storm last?? His aging face was drawn with fear. ?The raft is filling up with water fast!? ?Emergency rafts are built to handle a lot of water!? she yelled back. ?Just hang on!? Suddenly the black clouds and shrieking winds vanished. For one ageless, nauseating moment, the entire world seemed to whirl in dizzying spirals. Then a soft, warm rain began to patter down around them. ?Mac!? She bolted upright and stared wildly around. ?What the hell?? ?I don?t know!? It was impossible. Fierce squalls didn?t just appear and then disappear in the blink of an eye. But the violent electrical storm was gone. The gigantic crashing waves were gone. And as they watched in stunned disbelief, the hazy gray clouds overhead simply melted away, and the golden sun began to shine down from a perfectly clear blue sky. The ocean around them was calm, gentle?and empty. The other life raft was nowhere to be seen.

Book Description
The 2020 Porchlight Marketing & Sales Book of the Year The cofounder and chief branding officer of Red Antler, the branding and marketing company for startups and new ventures, explains how hot new brands like Casper, Allbirds, Sweetgreen, and Everlane build devoted fan followings right out of the gate. We're in the midst of a startup revolution, with new brands popping up every day, taking over our Instagram feeds and vying for our affection. Every category is up for grabs, and traditional brands are seeing their businesses erode as hundreds of small companies encroach on their territory, each hoping to become the next runaway success. But it's not enough to have a great idea, or a cool logo. Emily Heyward founded Red Antler, the Brooklyn based brand and marketing company, to help entrepreneurs embed brand as a driver of business success from the beginning. In Obsessed, Heyward outlines the new principles of what it takes to build and launch a brand that has people queuing up to buy it on opening day. She takes you behind the scenes of the creation of some of today's hottest new brands, showing you: • How Casper was able to upend the mattress industry by building a beloved brand where none had existed before • How the dating app Hinge won a fanatical user base and great word-of-mouth with the promise that the app was "designed to be deleted" • Why luggage startup Away, now valued at $1.4 billion, could build their brand around love of travel by launching with just one product--a hard-shell carry-on suitcase--rather than a whole range of luggage offerings. Whether you're starting a new business, launching a new product line, or looking to refresh a brand for a new generation of customers, Obsessed shows you why the old rules of brand-building no longer apply, and what really works for today's customers.
