Reckless Tide

She came home to close an insurance claim. She didn't expect to reopen her family's own cold case - or fall back in love with the man who broke her heart.

Insurance fraud investigator Mara Kilbride swore she'd never set foot in Blackwater Harbor again. Not after this town believed the worst about her father and let her family take the fall. But when a two-million-dollar death claim lands on her desk - tied to the same harbor she fled sixteen years ago - she doesn't have a choice.

The dead man's business partner has all the right paperwork. Sheriff Cole Danvers - her first love, the boy who couldn't choose her when it mattered most - has all the right answers. Mara has an uncomfortable feeling both of them are lying.

As she pulls apart a fraudulent insurance policy, a faked death, and a smuggling operation hiding behind the town's gleaming new marina, Mara uncovers something far more dangerous than she bargained for: the same family that destroyed her father's name sixteen years ago is still pulling every string in Blackwater Harbor. And the only man who can help her prove it is the one man she never planned to trust with her heart again.

A gripping small-town romantic suspense novel about buried secrets, second chances, and the kind of love worth coming home for.
