Ron Tew

Ron Tew counts it great fortune Mississippi ’s largest bank holding company made the offer he couldn’t refuse. After selling the bank, he trashed a collection of useless stuff and moved aboard his sailboat. During the next four years, he and wife Jeanne logged 25,000 nautical miles under sail. A career in banking and experiences at sea provide a rich diversity of characters and plots. “Sailors, like fishermen and farmers, will lie,” Tew said, “but it makes the denouement a lot more fun.” He and his wife now make their home in Pensacola , Florida .

About the Book:
Jackson Rhodes, a quiet, self-assured clinical psychologist, agrees to accompany Nat Arrington, a boisterous, womanizing attorney with political aspirations, to Ft. Lauderdale to bring the 40-foot sailing yacht Nat has purchased to Pensacola. An unseasonable cold front produces a powerful squall on their second night in the Gulf, and Nat is thrown overboard, leaving Jackson to cope with terrifying winds and seas. His survival depends on logical thinking, self-control, and the timely intervention of a beautiful marine biologist. Rescued from physical peril, Jackson finds his ordered world in a different turmoil as he struggles to reconcile newly awakened emotions with strongly held moral and ethical standards.
