📚 Book 3 of a completed 6-book series
A angry, broken boy carrying the weight of his fractured family meets a spirited girl who refuses to let him disappear into the darkness—and what unfolds is a slow-burn story about two people learning to let each other in. Joey's been drowning since childhood, but Aoife's presence becomes the kind of light that makes you want to fight your way back to the surface, even when every instinct tells you to stay submerged. Their connection crackles with tension and complexity, built on years of stolen moments, unspoken feelings, and the kind of chemistry that rewrites everything you thought you knew about yourself. This is a tender, angsty exploration of how sometimes the person meant to save you shows up exactly when you've stopped believing in rescue.
