What would you do for a second chance?

Two decades ago, Nick Hamilton vanished from Bess Walsh's life, leaving shattered promises in his wake. Now, Bess has returned to the same shores where Nick once taught her the difference between falling in love and settling for it.

Her love was the ocean, too, endless and always changing yet forever the same.

When Nick resurfaces from the chilling depths of the sea, Bess is consumed by a surreal blend of longing and disbelief. Is he a figment of her yearning, or has fate woven their paths back together? With every touch, every whispered word, the line between dream and reality blurs.

He'd taken her deeper than anyone ever had, and yet she hadn't drowned.

His name is on her lips. His hands on her thighs. His dark hair and eyes, called back from the swirling mysteries of what he calls the gray.

As Bess and Nick both dive deep into the passion that binds them together, will they drown in longing or resurface stronger than ever?
