Florida Keys romantic suspense.
Found family. Buried secrets. A guarded dive instructor she can’t ignore.
Glory Dawson escapes with a bruised body, a cracked phone—and one treasured gold-and-silver necklace from her father. She isn’t just running from her abusive boyfriend. She’s running from the life he shattered.
With nowhere left to go, a compassionate counselor offers a last-resort lifeline: a dive center in the Florida Keys.
At Dave’s Outdoor Water Sports, Glory finds sunlit docks, turquoise water, a bar called the Hut, and a tight-knit crew that doesn’t ask questions—only gives her a place to breathe. For the first time in years, she starts to feel safe.
Then she meets Ellis—a magnetic, guarded dive instructor who’s equal parts temptation and warning sign. Their chemistry is instant… but so is Glory’s unease, because Ellis seems to know things he shouldn’t. And the deeper Glory sinks into the calm of the Keys, the more she feels it: something about her past doesn’t add up.
As flashes of memory surface and secrets swirl beneath the waves, Glory must decide what survival really means—keep running… or fight for the truth, the life, and the love she never believed she deserved.
UNTIL THE TIDE is a gripping coastal found-family romantic suspense—an emotional, twist-filled story of healing, identity, and the kind of love that asks you to stop fleeing and finally come up for air.
