In the shadow of a towering lighthouse, I shared one reckless night with my best friend's brother.

I was seventeen and naïve; he was eighteen and bound for bootcamp. That night with Tyler changed everything.

I never told him about the loss that shattered me.

Ten years later, Navy SEAL Tyler has returned to our small beach town. And now he's all man.

When our paths collide again sparks reignite and memories I buried long ago threaten to break me.

I try to keep my distance. But his piercing eyes see through my defenses, challenge the walls I’ve erected around my heart.

Tyler’s determined to breach my barriers, unaware of the pain that binds us.

Will our second chance at love survive the truth? Or will it drift away into an ocean of what might have been?
