Leah Martel has always felt most at home below the surface—where the ocean doesn’t judge her curves or her quietness, and where control feels as natural as breathing. As the lead scientist on a reef restoration expedition, she’s focused on data, not desire. But when documentary filmmaker Grant Rhodes joins her team to capture the project on film, his presence sends new ripples through her carefully balanced world.

Grant came to the island searching for redemption after a career misstep left him chasing meaning behind a lens. Leah’s fierce intelligence and guarded wit disarm him instantly, her confidence as magnetic as the coral she protects. The more time they spend together—on deck, underwater, beneath the soft pull of moonlight—the more he sees her not as subject matter but as story itself.

When a tropical storm threatens their work, and the investors demand a prettier, more “marketable” version of their truth, Leah must decide whether to stay silent or fight to be seen. For Grant, the real film he’s making isn’t about the reef—it’s about a woman who taught him what it means to stay when things get deep.

Equal parts heart and humor, Beneath Her Surface is a contemporary slow-burn romance celebrating a plus-size heroine who discovers that her worth isn’t measured by visibility but by the depth of her courage. Tender, intelligent, and achingly sensual, it’s a story about learning to be seen—by the world, and by the one who sees you completely.
