What happens when the man you love most in the world unexpectedly disappears and takes your small child with him? Emma Fedors wonderful, haunting, and original (Katherine Faulkner, author ofGreenwich Park) debut explores the fierceness of first love and how far one woman will go to learn the truth about her family.

When Cara and Brendan first meet, shes fresh out of college, recovering from the recent death of her mother, and spending time on Marthas Vineyard while trying to figure out her next steps. Shes swept away by Brendans humor and charm, and intoxicated by his thrilling, dangerous secret: he can breathe underwater. Able to stay beneath the waves for longer than should be possible, Brendan reveals that he is part of a secret experimental unit of the US Special Forces. And Cara, struck by the power of his conviction, by his unstoppable charisma, and by the evidence before her, believes him.
