Saltwater & Second Chances
(2025)(The first book in the Gulf Coast Salvage series)
A novel by Harley Storm
She lost everything three years ago—her career, her reputation, her future. Now she's got one last chance to prove everyone wrong.
Waverly Moss isn't looking for rescue. The disgraced archaeologist-turned-dive-guide is barely keeping her head above water, raising her brilliant eight-year-old daughter alone while running her late grandmother's failing salvage company. When she inherits a forty-year search for a legendary Spanish shipwreck, it's her shot at redemption.
Or it would be—if her competition wasn't bankrolled by millions and determined to destroy what's left of her reputation.
Enter Kestrel Thorne: British historian, corporate spy, and the last man she should trust. He's been sent to sabotage her operation, but the more time he spends with the stubborn single mom and her genius daughter, the harder it becomes to choose his paycheck over his principles.
The chemistry between them is undeniable. The stakes couldn't be higher. And when her eight-year-old cracks the mystery that defeated forty years of searching, they're racing against time, corporate greed, and three hundred years of lost history.
But Kestrel's been keeping secrets—dangerous ones that could shatter the fragile trust they're building. And when the truth comes out, Waverly has to decide: Can she risk her heart on a man who's already betrayed her once?
Some treasures are found in shipwrecks. Others are found in second chances.
In saltwater and secrets, can two broken people build something worth keeping—or will the weight of the past pull them under?
Genre: Romantic Suspense
