She swims with great white sharks.And he will film it … "e;I'm going to freedive with the whites. I know you have a lot of experience filming sharks, but this will be different. You'll likely have to leave the cage. I need to know you're up for it."e; Dr. Grace Mann has spent her life among great white sharks. Raised in the shadow of her father's obsession, she learned early to respect their power—and their beauty. Now she's on the brink of proving herself at last, testing a groundbreaking shark-detection array that could change how humans and sharks share the ocean forever. But her breakthrough comes with complications. Her ex, fellow researcher Brad Michaels, is circling—eager to claim credit for her work. And then there's Alec Galloway, an award-winning underwater filmmaker hired to document her research. Grace swore she'd never again mix science and desire after one spectacularly failed romance. No matter how tempting Alec's easy charm and ocean-honed confidence may be, her focus has to stay on the project… and on surviving the increasingly dangerous waters around them. Alec Galloway is used to chasing risk. Sharks, storms, uncharted depths—it's all part of the job. What he didn't expect was Dr. Grace Mann: gifted, reserved, and devoted to sharks. When her boss forces the collaboration Grace tried to avoid, Alec quickly realizes the greatest challenge isn't capturing breathtaking footage—it's earning Grace's trust. As admiration deepens into something more, Alec finds himself competing not just with her past, but with predators that don't forgive mistakes. In waters where one wrong move can be fatal, passion and ambition collide. A high-stakes contemporary adventure romance packed with tension, desire, and heart-pounding danger.
