"To me, a pretty girl is just that. A pretty girl. A body or a face. An empty shell. It's all superficial. I want what's inside the package, not just the wrapping paper around the box." When Emma tells Gwendolyn she met Mr. Right, Gwendolyn can't help but feel excited. After all, he gave her a pearl necklace and professed his undying love. But, wait . . . love? Who says that on the first date? Gwendolyn thinks he's moving fast and warns her to guard her heart. The next day, Emma is reported missing. Suddenly, Gwendolyn's ordinary life spirals out of control. Plans for graduation are replaced with police town hall meetings. Even her faithful fianc , Ryan, seems to be having second thoughts. After a tense drive up the coast, Gwendolyn is explicitly called to the ocean. It's where she thinks her best friend disappeared. It's where she meets Marcus. Marcus thought he had life all figured out. The demons that torture his soul are safely locked away. But when he meets Gwendolyn standing on the shore, all common sense flies out the window. Honest, courageous, upright-her loyalty to her fianc is something he's never seen. He will guard his heart as he takes her under his wing, an oath he's sworn to uphold. The problem is, the closer Gwendolyn gets to the truth of her friend's disappearance, the closer she gets to death-and not just for herself, but for everyone she holds dear. Waters of Change is the first novel in The Unspoken Heart Series-a supernatural suspense that shatters genre norms. Based on the principle of "monsters with meaning," this dark tale tells a compelling story without the use of graphic violence, sexual content, or foul language.
