* * * * * The pull of the land or the call of the sea...

Annie MacLeod always knew she was different, growing up on a sailboat, navigating by stars and swimming with sea creatures, alongside her best friend, Evan. But when a tsunami hits, Annie is stranded on land; her entire world, and her eccentric identity, torn apart and upended.

In the wreckage, she rescues a wordless man named Walker, who emits a hum only she can hear. Their connection is instant. Walker's touch gives Annie visions of the ocean's hidden world, a life she's never known but feels inexplicably drawn to. Yet even as she is pulled toward him, Evan - the steadfast love who has always been there - remains on dry land, offering stability and security. Annie is torn between Evan's grounding presence and Walker's magnetic secrets. But then, Walker vanishes, along with the answers Annie needs about who she really is.

Six years later, Annie has left the sea and buried the past - until Walker returns, pulling her back toward the ocean and the life she abandoned. The truth has roots more ancient than she ever could have known, and Annie must confront a choice that will test her heart and determine her future.

A fierce and entrancing debut novel of one woman caught between two worlds that won't let her go. Pre-order now!
