I’m scarred. Broken.
I’ll never be the same.
Ever since my last dive ended in bloodshed, I’ve been terrified to go back into the water. But I need to get my life back. And I’ve convinced myself a semester at sea is the only way to do it.
I never expected Tristan MacDougall.
Rugged, strong, and with demons of his own, Tristan helps me find the courage I thought I had lost and heals me with every stolen moment we share…even though the rules of the ship mean we can’t be together.
But that’s the least of our problems, because my biggest fear has become a reality, and I’m not sure either one of us will survive.
