Pressure Point
In the crushing depths of the abyss, the truth is the only thing more dangerous than the pressure.
Isla Neves is a woman on the run from a ruined reputation. Once a rising star in her field, she was blacklisted after a betrayal that left her career in tatters. Now, she has one final shot at redemption: locating the legendary Aethelgard wreck in the North Atlantic. But to do it, she has to lie her way onto the DSS Leviathan and hope the crew doesn't look too closely at her credentials.
Quinn 'Gauge' Davies is the Leviathan's eyes and ears. A sonar tech who lives through sound, he trusts frequency data more than words. From the moment Isla steps on board, he hears the jagged rhythm of her anxiety and knows she’s hiding something dangerous. When a catastrophic storm forces the two of them into a cramped Benthic Lander on the seafloor, the forced proximity turns suspicion into a searing, survival-fueled passion.
As oxygen levels drop and sabotage threatens to turn their observation pod into a watery grave, the 'industrial jock' and the brilliant archaeologist must forge an unbreakable bond. In the silent darkness of the deep, Quinn must learn to trust his gut over his instruments, while Isla must decide if the secret she's keeping is worth more than the man who finally sees her for who she truly is.

"A masterclass in high-stakes tension! The 'auditory intimacy' between Quinn and Isla is unlike anything I've ever read—I could practically feel the pressure of the ocean and the heat between them. An absolute 5-star must-read!"— S. Bennett
