At the age of twelve, Cassandra Madden fell in love with Jefferson Ames, a young man she met at one of her mother's business conferences. Over the years, during periods of loneliness and struggle, Cassandra holds on to this unrequited love in order to cope with her isolated heart and the pain of a cold mother. Even when she grew up, went off to college, and met a man she thought she'd marry, her heart still yearned for Jeff.

The people around her aren't who they claim to be. Everyone has secrets — and until Cassie unravels those secrets, she and Jeff will never have a chance to be happy together.

When renowned ocean explorer Bob Ballard embarked on a highly-publicized search for the Titanic in 1985, it was just a convenient cover story. Ballard, acting on behalf of the U.S. Navy, made several deep sea dives not to find the doomed ocean liner, but to inspect the wreck of the USS Scorpion, a nuclear sub that mysteriously sank in May 1968. Ballard's actual mission: to determine if, instead of sinking as a result of mechanical problems, the sub was actually struck by a Soviet torpedo at the height of the Cold War. In ALL HANDS DOWN: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the USS Scorpion (Simon & Schuster; April 15, 2008), authors Kenneth Sewell and Jerome Preisler follow the submarine's fateful last tour of duty and reveal what actually happened to the sub and the ninety-nine members of its crew. Sewell, a nuclear engineer and a U.S. Navy veteran who served on a submarine for five years, uses his extensive knowledge of these stealthy submersibles to take readers onboard the USS Scorpion. Combined with the independent research and story-telling flair of Tom Clancy collaborator Jerome Preisler, the result is both compelling and authoritative.
