Crescent Bay is the kind of place where secrets are meant to stay buried.
When the past resurfaces in a way no one expects, a dangerous investigation pulls two seasoned operatives into a case that refuses to follow the rules. What begins as a routine assignment quickly reveals something darker-something unfinished-and far closer to home than either of them is prepared for.
They've worked side by side for years. Trusted each other with their lives. Avoided the one risk neither could afford to take.
Until there's nowhere left to run.
As the threat closes in and the harbor becomes a pressure point instead of a refuge, old instincts collide with unspoken desire. Forced proximity strips away professional distance, leaving behind truths neither can ignore-and a connection that's been waiting far too long.
Because in Crescent Bay, danger doesn't just come from the shadows.
Sometimes it comes from what you've been trying not to feel.
And when the past demands its due, surviving may require risking everything-including the one person who could change it all.
