Beneath the Surface is a heart-pounding enemies-to-lovers college romance that blends passion, secrets, and suspense in a story you won't forget. From the moment Cole, the golden boy of WestHill's swim team, meets Hope, sparks fly-but not the good kind. Cole is the campus heartthrob, confident and adored. Hope just wants to stay invisible, hiding behind her chessboard and the quiet life she's built. But Cole's piercing blue eyes and disarming smile awaken something in her-equal parts irritation and desire. And as much as she tries to ignore him, he has a way of breaking down her defenses. When tragedy strikes and Hope's world shatters, Cole is forced to make an impossible choice: Expose a dark, life-altering secret that could destroy everything... or protect the one girl who's managed to slip beneath his carefully guarded surface. He swore he didn't want another relationship. She thought she'd finally found the perfect guy. Neither of them expected the truth to tear them apart. Dive into a story where desire collides with danger, and where love might be the only thing strong enough to face the truth.
