BLURB:
Alejandra López Romero has spent her entire life mastering the ocean. Olympic gold medalist. World-class surfer. Fearless, disciplined, unstoppable.
Until the day the sea nearly takes everything.
Callum Evans lives on the opposite side of risk. A brilliant financial investigator with a wrecked knee and a carefully controlled life, he doesn’t chase waves or tempt fate. He follows rules. He survives.
They were never supposed to be more than one reckless night at a destination wedding in Spain. One night of heat, honesty, and chemistry that burned too bright to last.
But when Alejandra’s career—and identity—are shattered by a near-fatal accident, the one man she swore she wouldn’t need is the one who sees her most clearly. And when Callum realizes that walking away was the biggest mistake of his life, he has to decide whether love is worth diving back into—no matter the risk.
Above Water is a steamy, emotional, slow-burn romance about ambition, fear, healing, and choosing love when everything you thought defined you is stripped away.
Sometimes surviving isn’t enough.
Sometimes you have to learn how to breathe again.
