A small-town, single-parent romance from NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson

The second I saw the dark stranger sitting in the corner of the bar where I worked, I knew he was trouble.

Impossibly gorgeous and covered in tattoos, he screamed mayhem and a broken heart, but it’s the mystery that shrouds him that draws me like a flame.

But I have a little girl I’m living for, and the last thing I need is to get wrapped up in someone who’s passing through.

I come with a reputation.
A bad one.
I’m no stranger to trouble.
It follows me wherever I go.

So when I leave Los Angeles to hide from what I’ve done, I should know better than to hunger for the innocent cocktail waitress serving my drinks.

But soon, this sexy, southern girl is all I can see. The only thing I want. The one thing I might give it all up for.
We’re drowning in a sea of desire, sinking hopelessly into a world of lust.

I thought I’d ruin her, like I do everything else.

But she has an inescapable past.
One that promises to destroy us both . . .

A Stone in the Sea is book one of Sebastian and Shea’s epic duet. Their story continues in Drowning to Breathe.
