The Last Safe Harbor: A Chesapeake Bay Romantic Suspense

By J. V. Wainright

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Forensic accountant Mara Ellison returns to Blackwater Point after her sister's suspicious death and receives a warning from beyond the grave. The evidence leads to stolen millions, a protected killer, and Rowan Cade, the former Coast Guard rescue swimmer she once loved.

Rowan carries a broken compass and enough guilt to make him look dangerous. But when someone begins hunting Mara, he becomes the only man willing to follow her into the storm. To survive, they must expose a conspiracy built into the foundations of their town-and decide whether trust can outlive betrayal.

Some secrets can destroy a town. Others can destroy the people you love.

With a killer closing in and the truth buried beneath years of lies, Mara and Rowan must decide how far they're willing to go for justice-and whether the love they lost once is worth risking everything to reclaim.
