Summary
Freediver John “Soap” MacTavish has trained for years to break the world diving record—pushing his body beyond limits, mastering the silence of the deep. But as the record attempt nears, something begins to stir beneath the surface.
Something watching him.
Something waiting.It starts as a feeling, a presence just out of reach, one that fills him with unease... and a strange sense of longing. The deeper he dives, the more he feels it, a pull that’s not just in his mind, but in his bones.
Like he’s not alone down there. Like whatever is waiting for him in the dark has always been meant for him, and him alone.- Language:

Summary
Johnny had given up on his dream of going to art school early on — with his conservative parents and non-existent support system, he’d settled for doing whatever his family wanted him to.
His best friend, Simon, had other plans.
“You can come live with me.”
“Yeah, right, sneakin’ into yer military home is such a smart idea.”
Simon paused, having the sort of brilliant idea that would make Johnny scoff. Sure that they could pull it off.
“Marry me. The army gives free housing to serving soldiers and their families.”
Their fake marriage was a gateway for very real feelings to blossom, though, even through the difficulties that life put in their way.
