Mac's past and future collide when he's critically wounded at sea and rushed to the operating table. Tormented by pain and phantom memories, the only bright spot in the fisherman's hospital stay is his daily checkup with the gorgeous surgeon who saved his life. With each new bedside visit, he hopes against hope that the quick-witted beauty could learn to love a man of the sea.

Maria's surgical prowess has always been her top priority. But when a handsome fisherman ends up on her operating table, she never expected he would steal her heart. Once out of her care, she can't say no to his offer for a date.

Just as their relationship starts to heat up, she is found having witnessed a deadly act in the intensive care unit a year ago. The Mexican drug cartel put her on their kill list. Afraid for her life, she must make an impossible choice: stay with Mac and risk both their lives or leave without a trace and lose her love forever.

The Fisherman is the first book in the gripping Twists of Fate romantic suspense trilogy. If you like star-crossed chemistry, medical mysteries, and edge-of-your-seat action, then you'll love Mary Jane Forbes' pulse-pounding thrill ride.
