When fiercely independent marine archaeologist Marina Vega is partnered with ex-Navy diver Cole Maddox on a deep-sea salvage mission off the Yucatán coast, sparks fly both above and below the surface. Their uneasy alliance turns electric after they uncover a sunken 17th-century Spanish galleon-along with a mysterious artifact pulsing with ancient power: an obsidian medallion etched with Mayan glyphs and jaguar iconography.

But what begins as a breathtaking archaeological discovery quickly spirals into a deadly chase. The medallion is not treasure-it's a seal. And now that it's been disturbed, it's calling out... and someone, or something, is answering.

Pursued by a clandestine strike force, betrayed by the expedition's benefactor, and haunted by visions of a forgotten life as a Mayan priestess, Marina must confront an ancient memory buried deep within her soul. The medallion doesn't just remember her-it needs her.

As jungle ruins collapse and forbidden gates groan open, Marina and Cole race to seal what should have stayed buried forever. But doing so may require Marina to give up more than her discovery-it may demand her life.

A sweeping romantic adventure laced with myth, danger, and sacrifice, Beneath the Deep Gate is a haunting love story about two souls drawn together by fate, and the ancient power that waits in the dark for someone brave enough to face it.
