Control is her shield. Vulnerability is his redemption.

Pediatric surgeon Eden Perez has built her life around maintaining perfect control, hiding the scars of a painful past behind a wall of professional ambition. Returning to small-town Michigan to be closer to her daughter means confronting the messy emotions she's spent years suppressing.

Tate Siren knows all about past wounds. After escaping a toxic relationship that nearly destroyed him, he's sworn off complicated connections-until Eden walks into his lakeside restaurant. She's unlike any woman he's ever met: brilliant, guarded, and impossibly magnetic.

But when a crisis forces Eden to choose between her fears and her family, she must decide if she's brave enough to risk it all for the life - and love - she never thought she deserved.

Set against Michigan's stunning lakeside landscape, STORMY WATERS is a powerful story of second chances, the courage to be vulnerable, and a love that demands everything.
