Undertow by Edie James

Pastry by pastry, former con artist Cara Sweet is building a careful life in Haven Cove—a bakery, a circle of loyal friends who’ve become family, and a faith she’s still learning to trust.

And Gabe Sawyer, former FBI agent, and current chief of police in Haven Cove.

But just as she starts to believe she might have a future here, a new case walks through the door. A wealthy tech entrepreneur wants her team to find his missing ex-girlfriend. It should be straightforward—except nothing about the story adds up. The timeline is off, and the facts keep shifting.

The more Cara and her team dig, the more they wonder: was the woman taken? Or is she hiding?
As the investigation pulls them beyond the safety of Haven Cove, the lies stack higher—and so do the risks. Because someone doesn’t want the truth uncovered. At any price.
Meanwhile, Gabe faces a life-changing decision—one that could finally give him the future he’s been fighting for. A future that could include Cara… if she would only trust him.

But trust has never come easy to Cara. Faith requires surrender.
And surrender means risking not only her heart… but the life—and the found-family—she’s fought so hard to build.

In a town built on silence, the truth will get you killed. Welcome to Haven Cove—where secrets run deep, faith is tested under fire, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
