The Things We Buried at Low Tide

Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Mara Vale returns to her family's cliffside home expecting to stay only long enough to settle her late mother's affairs. Instead, she discovers a letter dated two weeks after her mother's death-and a warning not to trust Rowan Keene, the man she once loved and the one person she never wanted to see again. Then someone breaks into the house. A long-lost backpack surfaces near the abandoned harbor. A mysterious brass key points toward a secret buried for seven years. And the disappearance that shattered Mara's family suddenly looks far less accidental than everyone claimed. Forced to work together, Mara and Rowan follow a trail of hidden evidence, old betrayals, and dangerous loyalties through a coastal town where everyone remembers the past differently-and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth submerged. But the closer Mara gets to discovering what happened to her brother, the harder it becomes to know who she can trust... especially the man whose secrets may either destroy her or save her. A gripping romantic suspense novel about buried truths, second chances, family secrets, and the dangerous cost of uncovering what the tide was never meant to return.
