Where the Waves Remember.

Laura Bennett has dreamed of becoming a marine biologist for as long as she can remember. Now, at twenty-two and studying at one of the country's top marine science programs, she's determined to prove she belongs. Every class, every research trip, and every late-night study session brings her one step closer to protecting the ocean she's loved since childhood.

There's just one problem: Liam Carter.

Brilliant, stubborn, and infuriatingly talented, Liam is always one step ahead. Whether they're competing for the same internship or arguing over research in the lab, the two can't seem to agree on anything. But when an unexpected opportunity sends them on a months-long coastal research expedition, they're forced to work together.

As they dive beneath the waves to study endangered marine life, Laura and Liam uncover more than rare species and breathtaking reefs. Hidden secrets, unexpected dangers, and the growing threat to the fragile ecosystem test both their skills and their hearts. Somewhere between the crashing tides, late-night conversations beneath the stars, and moments when they must trust each other with their lives, their rivalry begins to turn into something neither of them saw coming.

Sometimes, the greatest discoveries aren't found beneath the Earth's surface-they're found in the people who dive beside you.
