Managed Paranoia - Book Two

HE'S ALREADY SANK ONE SAILBOAT, AND IS PRETTY SURE HE IS in for a life of catastrophic failures, but billionaire inventor Olin Ou has another opinion of the young sailor. With the help of his personal AI, he calculated Hank should have been dead years ago. That he lives, is enough evidence for Olin to want Hank (and his luck) on his yacht as they navigate dangerous seas. They will need the odds in their favor if they are to survive storms and escape the clutches of a vindictive government. Bella is an excellent marine biologist, but not a good judge of character. She took too long to learn her boyfriend, Gregory, is not only a creep but an international criminal. And now she is learning that narcissists have problems accepting "no" for an answer. Gregory tried to have her kidnapped, but that didn't work. This time, he's determined to take her back himself. Her father's deep ocean aquaculture station is her refuge and the sanctuary that keeps Olin's damaged yacht and his dream afloat. But the safe haven brings Hank and Bella together at the worst possible time. The very thought of another man in her life repulses her—yet Hank is intriguing. Hank is determined not to hurt another woman. But he has never met anyone like Bella—she is in a class of her own. Will they be able to find what truly matters and confront the threats to their freedom? Together, will they create a new way forward?
