Beneath the Surface

Silver Bay is all sun-kissed waves, lifeguard whistles, and secrets buried beneath the sand.
For Hailey Austin, it's her home turf-the one place she can breathe, protect, and stay in control. For Jake Sterling, it's a stage. Surfboard in hand and a smirk always ready, he's the local golden boy with something to prove-and something to hide.

They've never gotten along. Not really.
But this summer? The rivalry's different. There's tension in every glance, a history neither of them wants to unpack, and waves bigger than either of them can handle alone.

When a familiar threat rolls back into town-Jake's old crew with dangerous games and unfinished business-everything changes. Lifeguard flags are tampered with. Lines are crossed. And suddenly, the heat isn't just coming from the sun.

This summer, the tide isn't the only thing pulling them under.
