Water: Book One of the Water Series by Emory Gayle

What would you do if you were forced to face your darkest fears and open yourself up to something you never imagined possible?
This is the situation that Cora Reed finds herself the summer she heads to Camp Crystal. There she is forced to face her phobia of water, coming face to face with the night her world was shattered and water filled her nightmares. But strangely, the scariest thing for her isn’t the thought of swimming, it’s Darrien. Not just because he’s determined to get her into the water, but because there is a connection to him that terrifies and excites her at the same time. But, Darrien is hiding something and Cora is determined to find out what. After watching it tear her family apart, Cora has sworn she would never fall in love. Will Darrien be the one to make her break that promise?

What would you do if finding the thing you wanted most destroyed the life you had worked so hard for?
Darrien Locke came to Camp Crystal to do a job; and once he sets his mind to something, there’s nothing stopping him. But, when Darrien meets Cora the hot-tempered girl sparks something in him that he long thought dead. Soon, Darrien’s feelings threaten to ruin everything. His job, his position and his authority back home are all in jeopardy, but the worst thing is that Darrien is starting to not care about any of that. What his life once was, was over the moment he met her. Now, all that matters is keeping her safe, for a dark power is reaching out from the deep for Cora. As Cora’s connection to darkness grows stronger, Darrien, more than ever, is determined to see his job through. This time he has everything to lose.

Cora holds the real world story, while Darrien the fantasy. What happens when their two worlds collide and a power rises from the deep that sets both their worlds spinning?
