Dangerous Waters
Once famous for her gold medal winning triumph in the Olympic games, Megan Lovell now wants nothing more than to belong in her hometown of Devil’s Lake. But when she plunges into the lake at twilight to rescue a man she sees thrown overboard from a boat, she jeopardizes the life she holds dear. FBI agent ‘Mac’ James McClain had been hiding from death threats here in this peaceful town. Now his enemies are hunting not only him, but also the woman who saved his life. On the run, in danger, these two battle a compelling physical attraction that scares them both. Even if they survive, what does a man who lives undercover for months at a time and has never really had a home have to offer a woman who is desperate to be part of the hometown she gave up in her quest for that Olympic gold? Perhaps it is inevitable that they end up back out on the dark waters of the lake, where their only hope of salvation is each other.

About the author
Janice Kay Johnson
289 books191 followersJanice Kay Johnson is the author of over a hundred books for children and adults. Her first four published romance novels were coauthored with her mother, also a writer who has since published mysteries and children's books on her own. These were "sweet" romance novels, the author hastens to add; she isn't sure they'd have felt comfortable coauthoring passionate love scenes!
Janice graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in history and then received a master's degree in library science from the University of Washington. She was a branch librarian for a public library system until she began selling her own writing.
She has written six novels for young adults and one picture book for the read-aloud crowd. Rosamund was the outgrowth of all those hours spent reading to her own daughters, and of her passion for growing old roses. Two more of her favorite books were historical novels she wrote for Tor/Forge. The research was pure indulgence for someone who set out intending to be a historian!
Janice is divorced and has raised her two daughters in a small, rural town north of Seattle, Washington. She's an active volunteer and board member for Purrfect Pals, a no-kill cat shelter, and foster kittens often enliven a household that already includes a few more cats than she wants to admit to!
Janice loves writing books about both love and family — about the way generations connect and the power our earliest experiences have on us throughout life. Her Superromance novels are frequent finalists for Romance Writers of America RITA® awards. Along with her books for Harlequin, Janice has written the Cape Trouble series of romantic suspense novels, and is about to launch a new series, Desperation Creek, set in rural eastern Oregon.

An old digitized book. The heroine was too hysterical for my tastes most of the time plus she lacked background and back-story, just saying she was an Olympic winner was not enough for me, I would have liked to know, did she retire, have an injury, something. Hero was also okay. The book d...

Former Olympic gold medal swimmer Megan Lovell is now a kindergarten teacher in her home town and working part time as lifeguard at Devil's Lake. One day while watching a sunset over the lake she sees 2 men throw a body overboard. When the boat leaves she sees a man surface and struggle. She jumps in and saves him. James Mac McClain is an undercover FBI agent who's cover has been broken. He feels he needs to protect Megan and she is determined to be independent. This is a typical story of the 1990s general category romance style. Both MCs were a little frustrating. Pretty predictable.

Not my favorite JKJ. The heroine took ridiculously long to believe she was in danger and the hero was so cold to her for too long. Interesting story with some good suspense.
