Hearts Beneath Black Water
Where secrets drown and danger stalks, only love can keep them afloat.
Savannah, 1860.
Joseph “Tru” McCormack never intended to return home. A year at law school in New York promised him a different life, far from the shadow of his family’s lawman legacy. But when duty calls him back to Georgia, Tru finds himself entangled once more in the past—hauling freight, repairing fences, and crossing paths with the one woman he thought he’d left behind.
Beth Roundtree has changed since their childhood quarrels. Lovely, sharp, and fiercely loyal, she carries her own burden: doubts about the wealth her father built after a long-ago robbery that nearly cost him his life. When whispers of betrayal resurface, Beth finds herself torn between loyalty to her father and the unsettling attraction rekindling between her and Tru.
But danger is closing in. Escaped convict Carl Rowe has returned to Savannah, driven by vengeance and secrets buried in black water. As Tru and Beth are hunted through swamps and shadows, their survival—and their hearts—depend on trust, courage, and a love strong enough to withstand the truth.

Beneath the moss, beneath the guns, beneath the black water… beats the truth of their hearts.
