Theyâre both determined to avoid mergers of any kindâbut when they meet, the attraction is nothing short of blue-chip.

But when the town is rocked by two shocking murders, Charity and Elias realize that they must join forces to catch a killer. Because behind the townâs sleepy façade run currents fed by treacherous secrets and Deep Waters.
