...but family secrets threaten to drown her, instead.
Spurned and unemployed, Willa Eklund has hit rock bottom. She flees to a quaint island on the Sunshine Coast to help her aunt run a novelty bookstore, escape her controlling mother, and heal her broken heart.
Though excited for small-town island life, nothing prepared Willa for her aunt’s puzzling disappearance, or a man with lightning in his eyes. When a mysterious force calls to her from beneath the waves, she realizes the ocean holds the key to all her questions.
Can Willa find the strength to discover the truth and answer the call of the deep, or will she drown from her own mistakes?
