You're more special than you know.

Liz Brander's grandfather used to tell her that all the time. Could they be more than just words? Not long before a planned trip, a personal tragedy leads her to uncover a long-kept secret. Determined to fulfill her journey—or perhaps run away from her problems—she leaves for Florida, only to be stranded with no money, no place to go, and no one to turn to. With the warm gulf waters beckoning her and an unexpected connection, leaving her sleepy home in Ohio may be more than she bargained for.

After finding out he's the unwilling partner of an upcoming arranged marriage, Wyatt, Prince of Aquana, seeks guidance from his late mother's journal, discovering they're more alike than he thought. Reading about her explorations of the world above the water is the push he needs to leave his home. When he steps onto land, Wyatt finds life above the ocean is much more than he ever imagined.

As Liz and Wyatt's paths cross and become entangled with others, will their secrets remain hidden beneath the surface? Or will the sea pull them under?
