Over the Sirens

When your past won't let you go, sometimes the only way forward is through someone else's broken pieces.

Scarlett's life imploded the night her parents died. Two years later, she's still drowning. Her acting career is in ruins, her phone buzzing with reporters hungry for details about the murder-suicide that destroyed everything she thought she knew about love.

She's perfected the art of meaningless hookups and blackout nights, anything to silence the questions that haunt her: *What really happened in those final moments? Could she have saved them?*

Then she meets Graham.

He's supposed to be just another distraction. The devastatingly gorgeous bartender with sad eyes and gentle hands. But Graham sees through her carefully constructed walls, and for the first time since her world collapsed, Scarlett feels like she can breathe.

What she doesn't know is that Graham is running from his own demons. The accident that ended his paramedic career didn't just break his body. It shattered his soul. Now he's hiding behind a bar, serving drinks instead of saving lives, convinced he's not worth saving himself.

When Scarlett takes Graham to her family's remote cabin, they think they're finally ready to heal together. But some secrets are too big to bury, and some truths are too devastating to survive.

Because the accident that destroyed Graham's life? It was caused by the same people who destroyed Scarlett's.

And her estranged sister knows everything.
