A year ago, the Vigilant vanished off the Oregon coast during a classified mission. All hands were presumed lost—until Coast Guard officer Saylor O’Conner was found days later, half-frozen and barely alive in a battered Zodiac. She survived, but her memories of what happened aboard the doomed vessel remain fractured, obscured by trauma and fear.

 

Now, she’s trying to rebuild a quiet life in Raven’s Cliff, where the fog conceals more than just the coastline. But someone hasn’t forgotten what happened at sea — and they’ve just found her.

 

Zain Everett, former Army Ranger turned SAR specialist, knows what it’s like to carry guilt that won’t let go. His last mission cost lives — lives he couldn’t save. And now, with danger closing in on Saylor, he can’t afford to miss a single sign.

 

She stirs something in him he thought long dead. And as threats close in, and old ghosts surface, Zain and Saylor are pulled into a storm far more treacherous than the one that nearly claimed her life. Because someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried — and this time, they’ll make sure she doesn’t survive it.
