Kayla thought the worst was behind her. Still grieving the loss of her marriage, she retreats to the Oregon coast for quiet and distance—only to witness something she was never meant to see. When the men responsible realize she’s a loose end, Kayla’s isolation becomes a liability she can’t outrun. Abducted and held aboard a luxury yacht in unforgiving waters, Kayla is forced to rely on instinct, grit, and sheer will to survive. Escape comes at a cost—and when it does, the danger is far from over. Ben never stopped looking for Kayla, even after she walked away. When he learns she’s missing, he’s pulled back into a world of secrets, violence, and unfinished business. The closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes the threat against her runs deeper than either of them imagined. Trapped between ruthless criminals and a coastline that offers no refuge, Kayla and Ben must confront the past they couldn’t fix—and decide whether trust is worth the risk when survival is on the line. On the storm-lashed edge of the Pacific, there is no safe harbor—only the choice to fight or be dragged under.
