Five years away have changed Damien Cross, but they have not erased the life he lost. Returning by ferry to a city that barely resembles his memories, he must face the marriage, enemies, and unfinished reckonings waiting onshore. Elena has her own reasons to question the man who has come home. The opening volume of a dark contemporary romantic suspense series follows a husband seeking his place in a world built without him, and a wife who must decide whether his return means another wound or a chance to begin again.
