"The sea took him. The tide brought him back."

Two years after her husband Malachai was claimed by the treacherous Devon waters, folklorist Cressida Vane returns to Harrowgate House—a decaying, isolated estate cut off from the mainland by the daily tides. She arrives to settle the estate, but instead discovers a sinister bell that rings to a rhythm only she understands, and a vast, illicit smuggling empire hidden within her husband’s legacy.

Watching her every move is Lucan Dacre, the rugged, guilt-ridden harbor master whose scarred hands conceal the truth of what really happened the night Malachai died. As the tide isolates them from the rest of the world, the simmering, dangerous tension between Cressida and Lucan ignites. But the sea refuses to keep its secrets, and the man she mourned is coming back to reclaim what is his.

The Widow Bell at Low Tide is a gripping dark romance and psychological thriller about possessive obsession, betrayal, and a desperate love born in the darkest of waters.
