🖤 Ivy Clarke

She came to the lake to disappear.

Scarred by a toxic relationship and burdened by the weight of everything she couldn’t save, Ivy rents a run-down cabin on the edge of Stillwater Lake with one goal: silence. No people. No questions. No memories.

But the lake has other plans.

And so does the man next door.

🛠️ Asher Wyatt

A former firefighter turned carpenter, Asher is all quiet strength and bruised edges. He’s rebuilding the lake house that belonged to his late brother—piece by piece, memory by memory. He’s used to grief. He’s used to being alone.

What he’s not used to is Ivy:
Fierce, frightened, untouchable Ivy—who swims at midnight, won’t talk about her past, and looks at him like he’s the only thing that makes sense in a world that stopped making sense a long time ago.

🔥 Their Connection Is Instant. And Dangerous.

They don’t mean to get close.

They don’t mean to care.

But pain recognizes pain. And little by little, they begin to surface from their own depths—together.

🌊 But when love runs deep, it can save you… or pull you under.
