SECRETS BENEATH THE SAND

A violent tide has uncovered a secret someone will kill to keep buried.
When a storm exposes a weathered metal case beneath the dunes of Lantern Key, coastal archivist Elena Marlowe is stunned to find her late grandmother’s name written across its lid.
Inside are old photographs, hidden recordings and evidence connected to a twelve-year-old shipwreck—but every discovery raises another dangerous question.
Rescue diver Rafe Donovan has built his life around saving others while refusing to confront the tragedy that destroyed his own family. When Elena’s investigation leads back to the wreck, he is determined to protect her—even if it means uncovering the truth his father took to his grave.
Someone on Lantern Key has spent years ensuring those secrets remain buried. As warnings turn to violence and the rising tide threatens to trap them beneath the island, Elena and Rafe must decide who they can trust.
Their search draws them closer to the truth—and to each other. But loving someone means risking another devastating loss, and neither of them knows whether their wounded hearts are brave enough to try.
A gripping small-town romantic suspense filled with buried secrets, coastal danger, found family, a guarded hero and a hard-won happily ever after.
