While fighting the War on Drugs in Latin America, Marine Brody Teller was involved in an accident that left him with a supernatural power: a deep connection to the sea and the ability to control it.
When the mysterious Joe Smith approaches him with an incredible job offer, Brody thinks it's too good to be true. His life-saving need and his desire to be near the ocean while earning a living are rolled into one perfect job.
Rayna Lopez lives a quiet life as she tries to climb her way up the CIA ladder, always in fear the government will learn of her family lineage. When her father asks for help getting her famous and belligerent half-sister out of trouble, Rayna reluctantly agrees to travel with her and they board a yacht where they will be protected.
Brody and Rayna realize they've met before, and despite a significant lack of trust between them, they face an attraction neither can deny. As they fight to keep Rayna's sister alive, lies are revealed and secrets are told. They must both learn to trust each other, and-if they live through their voyage-figure out what to do about their whirlwind romance.

Taking a deep breath through her snorkel, she looked back at the fish. Reds, yellows, and blues . . . it seemed every color of the rainbow was represented on swarm of beauty before her. About ten feet away, Margarita let go of another handful of cat food, and the fish teemed around her as they fed. Rayna found it mildly amusing that the fish seemed to adore the cat food, and cats loved fish.
She glanced over at Brody again, and he motioned her to follow him. She caught up with him, and they swam together, the sun warming her back. When they were out of range from Margarita and Jason, Brody laced his fingers with hers.
Rayna looked up and saw they were headed for the caves. Katie had said the fish inhabiting them were different, and Rayna looked forward to the exploration.
As they entered the cave, the light waned, but Rayna caught movement out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see a thin, dark, four-foot long fish emerge from the darkness. She gasped and grabbed Brody's arm as the fish swam out of the cave.
Rayna lifted her head, and Brody did the same.
"That was a barracuda," he said after removing his mouthpiece.
"That thing was huge!" Rayna exclaimed, her heart still pounding with fear.
Brody chuckled and pulled her close to him, removing his mask, and then hers. "Is Ms. Hot CIA afraid of a little fish?"
Rayna laced her arms around his neck, thankful the ocean gave them such buoyancy. "Yes," she murmured, as he peppered her neck with slow kisses.
"Don't worry about him," Brody whispered, his voice barely audible over the waves lapping at the rocks in the cave. "Barracudas don't like humans. He has no desire to nibble on your toes. Now on the other hand, I'm a different story. I want to lick, suck, and nibble every inch of you. If there's anything you should worry about, it's me."
Rayna laughed despite the bolts of heat coursing through her. Her heart still pounded, but she knew it was from Brody's touch, not fear. His lips met hers in slow exploration.
"So I should actually be worried about my Captain who has promised to protect me?" she teased.
"Oh, yes, Rayna," he whispered in her ear. "You should be very worried about what I plan to do with you.

An Interview with Carly Fall

What inspired you to write By Sea?

As I looked over a list of paranormal abilities, I saw the ability to control the sea, and I liked the idea of that. Then I started looking at yachts, the Virgin Islands, thinking about dolphins, and how to tie it all in together, and By Sea was born.

When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I stared writing at a very early age. I kept a diary once I learned to write, and I wrote stories. As I grew older, I worked on the Yearbook in high school and wrote for the paper in college. I then moved on to developing and writing business materials, and finally, on to fiction.

What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

Probably 8-9. I loved Nancy Drew.

What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

I love cop action/adventure stories, and I also like a good romance. If I'm feeling particularly naughty, I'll pick up some erotica. Depending on my mood, I'm happy with many different genres.

What is your favorite book?

This is a difficult question for me. I can't say I love on particular book, but my favorite series is John Sanford's Lucas Davenport series. I have had a huge crush on Davenport for many, many years.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

Again, this is a hard question for me. It depends on what genre I feel like reading. I really enjoy John Sanford and Lee Child. I have also found a number of indie authors I like. I can't really say I have a "favorite" author, just as I can't answer what my "favorite book" is.

If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go and why?

If I could be guaranteed safety, I would go back to the dinosaur age. I think that would be amazing to see. If not, then I'd probably like to go back to the Roaring 20's.

When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

It depends on the book. Some take just a couple of months to write, others take much, much longer. By Sea was incredibly easy for me to write, and was done in a couple of months.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

Yes. We have a dog, Nicky, a parakeet named Griffon, and a beta fish named Fire Bullet who was only supposed to live a maximum of two years (that's what they told us at the store), and is now on going on four years old.

What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Chocolate, steak, Caesar Salad, garlic mashed potatoes and Beef Wellington (as long as I don't have to make it, which would be a complete disaster).

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

Writers write. It takes time, dedication, and patience. If you want to be an author, don't talk about it, do it.

By Sea has been described as "amazing and suspense filled storyline about betrayal, government secrets and finding love."
