Twenty years ago, three small children were pulled from a life raft off the coast of Maine.
Tessa Whittemore was the youngest of those children. She's always been the content one—running the family restaurant, caring for her ailing father, never asking anyone for anything. She hasn’t needed to know where she came from. But when a salvage crew arrives in Briar Bay to dive a wreck the government wrote off as old junk, Tessa suspects that it has something to do with her and her siblings. And she's not the only one who wants to know what's down there.Former Navy SEAL Jordan McCall left the fighting behind for the quiet of deep water. Stepping in at the last minute to lead the dive, his job is simple: find proof the wreck belonged to his client's missing brother so a grieving family can finally lay him to rest. But the more Jordan explores the sunken yacht, the less the story holds together. What he discovers raises questions he can't answer without violating his contract. Telling Tessa what he's learned could put her at risk—and staying silent may be just as dangerous. For the first time in his life, keeping his word may mean failing to protect someone who matters to him.
When Tessa realizes she's being watched, the past she never cared about becomes the only thing that might keep her alive. To uncover it, she'll have to trust the man who knows more than he's telling. The closer they get to the truth, the more ruthless the people who stalk them become—and the future they're beginning to imagine together may be over before it begins.
From a USA Today bestselling author… Don't miss the gripping second book in the Children of the Sea series, where a sunken secret, a hero who swore off fighting, and a love neither of them planned for collide on the rocky coast of Maine.
