The vibe

Emery Caldwell is desperate for a reset. After seven years teaching marine biology, a string of grant rejections, and a relationship that’s gone nowhere, she’s exhausted and unsure what comes next. When a sabbatical opportunity appears, she escapes to the quiet coastal village of Tidehaven, South Carolina, hoping to gather material for a new research article—and maybe rediscover herself in the process.

Reid Morgan has already fought for his peace. A former Navy SEAL, he’s built a quiet, predictable life at the Driftwood Marina, determined to keep complications out and his past buried. The last thing he wants is a persistent, inquisitive scientist who keeps showing up and asking questions that make it harder to stay closed off.

Then Emery witnesses something she shouldn’t in the misty marshlands, and suddenly her life is at risk. As a dangerous presence closes in, Reid is forced to step in and protect her—and the closer they get, the harder it becomes for him to keep his walls intact. With danger escalating and their connection deepening, they’ll have to face the truth about the threat, their pasts, and each other… because trusting their hearts might be the most dangerous choice of all.
