description: Evelyn Marshall knows the agony of loss. After years of feeling lost and afraid, Eve immerses herself in stability and routine. Her future is carefully planned, ensuring she will never face the misery of a broken heart again. When a second loss sends her adrift in a sea of uncertainty, Eve struggles to hold on to her belief that a safe existence can protect her heart. Seeking an anchor in the storm, she clings to what is familiar; the support of her brother, the comfort of her family home, and the presence of her friend, Dean Sawyer. As secrets are revealed and her painful past is relived, Eve finds the boundaries of her life and her relationship with Dean shifting into something far from stable. Struggling to maintain control in an uncontrollable world, Eve must overcome the limitations she placed on herself out of fear or drown in the darkness threatening to consume her soul. Can Eve accept an unstable future, or will she sacrifice the chance for happiness to protect her heart?
