Some secrets are meant to stay submerged.

Single mom Alex Hanson knows the rules of survival in her small New York town: keep your eyes on your tables, your hands on your tips, and your heart under lock and key. Then comes Sam Ruiz. A National Park Ranger with a steady gaze and a way of making her feel seen for the first time in years, Sam is a complication she can’t afford—and a temptation she can’t resist.

But as their chemistry reaches a breaking point, a shadow falls over the Delaware Water Gap. A homegrown threat is brewing in the hills, fueled by old grudges and new radicalism. As the community fractures, Alex and Sam find themselves caught between a scorching attraction and a chilling conspiracy.

In River Rats, the heat is rising, the water is high, and the most dangerous thing in the woods isn’t the wildlife—it’s the neighbors.
