The deeper the water, the darker the secrets…
There were so many times I thought about telling you the truth, Eva. What stopped me was always the same thing…
When Eva’s husband Jackson tragically drowns, she longs to meet his estranged family. The journey takes her to Jackson’s brother’s doorstep on a remote Tasmanian island. As strange details about her husband’s past begin to emerge, memories of the man she married start slipping through her fingers like sand, as everything she ever knew and loved about him is thrown into question. Now she’s no longer sure whether it was Jackson she fell in love with – or someone else entirely…
The truth is, it was all a lie . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this lackluster romantic suspense/gothic romance m lange, tragedy strikes when Eva and Jackson Bowe visit the windy, rocky coast of Dorset, England, for a birthday celebration with Eva's mother. Though he is an experienced fisherman and swimmer, Jackson is swept out to sea and, after scouring the water all day in dangerous conditions, the Coast Guard calls off the search and Jackson is presumed dead. Eva and Jackson were married for less than eight months and had known each other for little more than that and Eva's grief at her husband's death is all-encompassing. In her need to understand, she travels to Jackson's home in Tasmania to meet his family and search for closure. Instead, Eva finds herself in the midst of a tortuous family situation that only adds to the confusion surrounding Jackson's death. Clarke (Swimming at Night) valiantly tries for grand passion and high drama, with lamentable results.
