Overview

She left to forget.

She came back to remember.

But the one person she can't outrun… is her.

When marine biologist Eira Solheim returns to her icy Norwegian hometown after a decade away, she expects isolation, quiet, and cold. What she doesn't expect is to be forced onto the same boat—and into the same oxygen-thin air—as Liv Strand, the tough, infuriating woman she once called a friend… before everything fell apart.

Liv hasn’t forgiven. Eira hasn’t forgotten.

But the sea has a way of surfacing what you bury.

Each wave they ride together brings them closer to something unspoken—something darker, deeper, and burning beneath the surface. Hate turns to tension. Tension to heat. And when a storm traps them together in a remote fishing cabin, years of silence break in a single, devastating kiss.

Enemies to lovers.

Slow burn.

One bed.

And a tension so sharp it could crack ice.

If you're craving sapphic desire tangled with old wounds and explosive longing, Beneath the Surface is your next late-night obsession.
