Deeper

What would you do for a second chance?

Twenty years ago, Nick Hamilton disappeared without a goodbye, leaving Bess Walsh with a shattered heart and a lifetime of unanswered questions.

Now she’s come home to the windswept coast where they first fell in love—a place where the sea keeps its secrets and nothing is ever truly lost. The ocean has always called to Bess, as wild and untamable as the love she thought she’d buried.

Then Nick walks out of the water.

He looks the same. Touches her the same. Kisses her as though twenty years have never passed. But he’s been somewhere no living man should return from—a place he calls the Gray.

Drawn together by a desire as deep as the tide, Bess and Nick surrender to a passion that refuses to die. But as the truth of what happened twenty years ago rises to the surface, Bess begins to understand that some loves return not to be reclaimed, but to reveal the path we’ve been unable to see.

Because the sea doesn’t always return what it takes—it reveals where we truly belong.
