Synopsis: A dark thriller set at sea perfect for fans of Kara Thomas--two girls from different worlds cross paths with a psychopath.

Nothing really bad has ever happened to Birdie. And she hates it! She needs drama, angst, torment–something to provide fodder for the amazing book she wants to write. When her parents take a yearlong sabbatical to the Caribbean, she gets her wish. . . .

Morgan is a child of the sea. Raised by nomadic parents who encouraged her to chart her own course, and filled with sorrow after the loss of her older sister, she attempts to create a new life for herself in the warm waters of the tropics. But before she can do that, she needs papers that will keep the Coast Guard away, And there's only one person who can help her. Tricky Nicky. Morgan knows he's bad news. But what she doesn't know is that he's a killer.

Told in alternating points of view, Deep is a riveting story that will pull readers into its depths.
