Publisher Description:

"I literally wanted to jump off the cliff and become one with the thundering waves."

Eighteen-year-old Gwendolyn can't understand why her life shattered—why her best friend mysteriously disappeared and her once-devoted boyfriend seems to be having second thoughts. And now, to add to her confusion, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the ocean.

The voice is unmistakable.

It whispers and is unrelenting as it beckons her to the shore. Once she submerges in the water, the command fades and she’s left drenched and confused. As if these impulsive decisions aren’t embarrassing enough, she meets a gorgeous stranger in the process . . .

Marcus thought he had life all figured out—until he lured Gwendolyn. Her innocent spirit is the most breathtaking he's beheld in a human. He will fight his heart's desire to resist her, but his purpose must be fulfilled. He holds the darkest secrets that torture his existence—and threaten hers. If only he can keep from falling in love.

Should Gwendolyn pursue the depths of her past, she will become entangled in a web of ancient curses and forbidden desires. Some secrets are best left hidden.

Waters of Change is the first novel in The Unspoken Heart Series—a young adult urban fantasy filled with slow-burn romance, rich symbolism, and twists of unspeakable terror. For lovers of thought-provoking allegories, deeply flawed characters, and mythological lore.
