The Boy with the Heart of Sea Glass
When the end of a relationship brings eighteen-year-old Sam back to the Cornish island where he was born, he’s forced to face family secrets deeper and darker than the water surrounding him.
Meeting Tryste, a fisherman with eyes like thunderstorms, might be a distraction from the truth, but Sam’s wounds run deep, and he’s afraid to risk his heart again.
While fighting his growing feelings for Tryste, Sam is haunted by eerie visions of a pale woman who lures him beneath the waves. Soon, it becomes hard to tell dreams from reality, and when he wakes drenched in saltwater, Sam realizes he inherited more than just his father’s face.
Embracing the truth may mean losing the life he’s built, but Sam has no choice. To save the boy he loves, he must follow his heart to the bottom of the ocean, even if it means blurring the line between reality and fairytale forever.
