One summer night, fifteen-year-old Brandi Vine is drawn to a rocky New England beach. The very spot where her sister’s lifeless body washed ashore after a night spent swimming alone. Brandi mourns beside the cold water, unaware that the haunting gray eyes of the Swimmer are watching her from beneath the waves.
Soon after, Brandi attends a party that goes horribly awry. The very human Swimmer emerges from his hiding place to rescue her. She only sees him for a few moments, but the brief glimpse is enough to turn her world upside down. His translucent skin. His unnatural strength and grace. And the pale pink line beneath is jaw that flutters with every breath he draws. Who – and what – has just rescued her?
Brandi begins a quest to discover the nature of the young man from the sea, unaware that he is equally determined to find her. The allure of Brandi is so powerful that the Swimmer ignores his own safety to find her again.
Brandi finally yields herself to a forbidden romance with the Swimmer. And the deeper she falls into love, the closer she comes to unlocking the mystery of her sister’s final swim.
