Against the Waves

Callisea Soleil Fornaleza has spent her entire life believing there was no reason to venture beyond the reef. Content with drifting wherever the waves carried her, she found comfort in the familiar rhythm of the sea and the certainty that everything she needed was already within reach.

Until Evander Sage Cipriano transferred to her school.

Like an unexpected tide, he stirred waters she never thought to question. The once-vibrant seabed she admired from afar was suddenly exposed beneath the sun, revealing truths, dreams, and possibilities she had never dared to imagine.

But the ocean she thought she knew ran far deeper than it appeared. One step beyond the reef became another, until curiosity turned into a current too strong to fight-a slippery slope capable of pulling anyone beneath the surface.

And when Callisea finally finds the courage to swim against the waves...

Will she still find her way back to shore?
