Salt, Silence, and the Detective's Wife
The body is discovered at low tide. The detective assigned to the case is her estranged husband. And the last person to see the dead man alive was her.
Nora Maddox came back to Creston Cove, Maine to care for her mother and bury old grief quietly - not to become a suspect in a murder investigation. Not to look across a kitchen table at the man she left eighteen months ago and hasn't stopped loving since. But Philip Alcott is dead, and Detective Cole Maddox is asking questions neither of them are ready to answer.
Cole has spent his career reading the hidden architecture of other people's lives. He never could read Nora's. She learned to grieve in silence long before she learned to love him, and the secret she's keeping now isn't about the murder - but it could destroy everything.
The investigation will uncover the truth about Philip Alcott. The truth about their marriage is going to cost them more.
A slow-burn, second-chance romance set against the salt-gray November coast of Maine - for readers who believe that love, like a good detective, never stops looking.
The case will close. The question is whether they will.
