Mara Calder has spent fifteen years proving she is nothing like her father.

When an unidentified fishing boat explodes at her family boatyard before dawn, all the suspicions she thought she had survived come rushing back. Someone is using Calder Marine for something dangerous—and someone wants Mara to take the blame.

Then Cole Bennett arrives.

The quiet, infuriatingly observant mechanic claims he is only looking for work. Mara knows better than to trust strangers, especially ones who ask too many questions and seem far too calm when danger closes in.

What she doesn’t know is that Cole is really Gabriel Mercer, a federal agent working undercover.

Gabe came to Cypress Cove to investigate Mara. Instead, he begins to suspect she is being framed.

As hidden compartments, threatening messages and old smuggling routes pull them deeper into a conspiracy, Mara and Gabe are forced to rely on each other. But attraction is dangerous when every truth comes wrapped in a lie—and someone in Cypress Cove will kill to keep the past buried.

To survive, Mara must decide whether the man who deceived her is also the only man she can trust.

The Lies Between Tides is a tense coastal romantic suspense filled with secrets, danger, forced proximity, undercover intrigue and a slow-burning romance where trust may be the greatest risk of all.
