Cari Zimmerman is perfectly content to drink her life away. Scotch helps her lose her inhibitions and forget her past-her parents' fatal plane accident and her one-night stand with her older brother's best friend. But when her best friend convinces her to accompany her to a piercing studio, Cari finds herself in the chair, ignoring her needle phobia to feel the touch of the piercer, Damien Anderson. Convinced a no-strings-attached fling with the tattooed piercing artist is the perfect antidote to her upside down life, Cari sets out to seduce Damien. Despite his appearance, Damien has a different idea of how to have a good time, so Cari is forced to decide if forgetting is worth changing her life and risking her heart. "Alaskan Waves" is a prequel to "Alaskan Recovery," but the Alaskan Healing novels can be read in any order.
