Everly Bennett had everything she could want and the world at her feet, until unexpected circumstances led her down a different path. Now she’s facing one last year of university, but untapped dreams sky-high. When her dad’s company suffers a huge loss, the tension between them thickens and she’s left at an impasse. Hoping to save money, she takes a summer job teaching at the local pool
The pool was always Kevin Cameron’s second home. Lifeguarding should be his happy place, but it’s a reminder of unattainable goals and a life he left behind. When he meets Everly, he’s taken by her enigmatic, fiery personality. Spending the summer with her promises a new adventure.
The last thing Everly expects is a challenge from the new lifeguard—or his friends. Taking a step into their world, she questions her privileged life and her goals. Sharing her faith and helping the less fortunate gives perspective, but will it heal past hurts? What will it take to move forward and live her dreams?
On a work-study program in Sardinia, studying marine biology and spending her days with sea creatures, Everly is living her best life. She is following the progress of expectant dolphin mothers, making new friends, and immersing into a new language.
Working with a marine life sanctuary, Everly embraces a world of discovery. But with a pattern of mysterious happenings, she becomes suspicious. Determined to uncover the truth, she rallies her friends to help, although the path is unknown—even dangerous.
Following Everly to Sardinia is the best decision Kevin’s ever made. Not only does it keep him close to his girlfriend, but living on the Mediterranean, he makes a life of sea diving and saltwater research. An unfortunate incident becomes the catalyst of open wounds from the past. Faced with unexpected challenges, he now has a choice to make.
Each at a soul-searching crossroad, can their bond and their faith hold them together? How will they navigate the waters of this new adventure? And what awaits them on the other side?
