The Last Time We Drowned

Description

Morgan has built a good life in San Diego: a successful career, a home of her own, and two teenage sons she adores. The missing piece is lasting love. When online dating introduces her to Elliott, their connection moves fast. First dates lead to a romantic escape, blended families, a shared home, and the future Morgan has always wanted. But beneath their passionate relationship, troubling patterns begin to emerge. As love becomes a turbulent cycle of marriage, separation, reconciliation, and renewed hope, Morgan keeps believing this time will be different. Yet each return forces her to confront harder questions. When does compromise become control? How much should love require her to sacrifice? And can she save a relationship without losing herself? Set against the coastal beauty of Southern California, The Last Time We Drowned is contemporary women’s fiction about complicated relationships, midlife love, blended families, heartbreak, resilience, self-discovery, and starting over—and one woman’s journey toward the courage to choose herself.
