The Surface

by Naima Haviland

Jenny spends every summer at her family's lakehouse in a vacation community that closed its ranks to outsiders generations ago. Here, old school ties and unwritten social codes present a united front as cool and tranquil as the lake, itself. But darkness moves beneath the surface and when Jenny is sexually assaulted on the way home from a midnight party, rescue comes from an unlikely source far more dangerous than her attackers. TRIGGER WARNING.
