The Ocean Between Us

🌊Intimacy, loss, and desperate love-this is what The Ocean Between Us delivers.
Cierra is independent but alone, juggling two jobs to keep herself afloat while supporting her sick father. She's strong for everyone else, but who will be there when she finally breaks?
Roman is an ex-military man, haunted by his mother's death and weighed down by family secrets he can't escape. When his path collides with Cierra's, their connection is immediate and consuming, fueled by passion, pain, and the need to be truly seen.
Together, they cling to each other like lifelines, but love this intense doesn't come without scars. Between family betrayals, old wounds, and the ghosts of the past, Cierra and Roman must decide whether their love will save them, or drown them.

"What happened?" I ask her.

"She said she'd be right back,"

Alicia began, her voice raw.

"Just a minute outside the bar. But when she didn't come back, I went looking. A block away, I saw a bunch of people standing around... and it was her. On the ground. They said a car hit her and didn't stop."

My throat felt like it was closing.

"I saw you texted her to meet you outside the bar," Alicia added quietly.

I shook my head. "What? No, I didn't. I wasn't even in town."

Her brows knit together, and she pulled out her phone. "Then explain this."
