Beneath the Surface
Historian Sarah Michaels has spent years tending the hidden stories of Dolphin Cove—its shipwrecks, its old families, its quiet tragedies. She loves the town fiercely, even when its past is stubborn and its people even more so. Life is stacks of archival files, early shifts at Tilly’s Diner, and the steady calm she has built around old wounds.
Then Saoirse Keenan walks back into town.
Brilliant, composed, and devastatingly unreadable, Saoirse is the ex Sarah never quite healed from. She’s also carrying a manuscript that accuses Dolphin Cove of covering up the disappearance of a local girl in 2003, and she expects Sarah to help her prove it.
Reluctantly drawn into a tangle of redacted police reports, missing council minutes, and long-buried grudges, Sarah starts to see cracks in the town’s memory she can’t explain away. The deeper she and Saoirse dig, the more dangerous the silences become.
Old feelings resurface. Old fears, too.
As small-town loyalties tighten and the truth edges closer to the light, Sarah must decide what matters protecting the community she calls home… or uncovering the story it tried to bury.
