A Scottish loch, a guarded cottage, and a dangerous invitation

An inheritance brings Iris Galloway to a remote cottage beside a Scottish loch, with one condition: she must live there for a year. Disappearances, warnings about a murderer, and her great-aunt’s instructions to keep salt lines in place give the setting an uneasy mystery. The stranger who emerges from the water and asks to enter the cottage ties that suspense to the book’s paranormal shifter-romance classification. The publisher describes the story as beginning like a cozy gothic mystery before turning toward darker, horror-tinged territory, so its atmosphere shifts as the romance and danger develop.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers interested in dark gothic romance with paranormal or shifter elements.
  • For readers who enjoy remote settings, local mysteries, and supernatural danger.
  • For readers comfortable with a story that moves from cozy-gothic cues into darker, horror-tinged material.

EARLY RELEASE & SPECIAL MASS MARKET LIMITED EDITION AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.

 

"Don't let him in."

 

Widow's Bay meets Haunting Adeline in this standalone dark gothic romance from the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Blood Orange, Grave Matter and Realm of Thieves.

 

When Iris Galloway inherits her great-aunt's cottage on a remote Scottish loch, the terms are simple: live there one year, and it's hers.

She doesn't know about the disappearances yet, nor does she know about the handsome man who swims in the loch at night, who watches her cottage from the dark water, and who appears at her door very wet, very naked, and asking to come in.

Meanwhile, the locals warn her about a murderer on the loose, the police are in over their heads, and her aunt's letters say to keep the salt lines around the house and the doors locked after sundown.

And never, ever invite him inside.

But Iris has spent her whole life being careful.

And this wicked stranger is going to ruin her for it.

 

Bonetide is a dark gothic romance that's tinged with horror. While this book starts off almost like a cozy gothic mystery, it does pivot later into darker territory. Which also gets a little weird. If you're here for the cozy, know that it doesn't stay cozy. If you're here for the dark romance, know that it's coming. Please see inside the book for the content warning or the author's website.

 

Note: This is a special edition mass market paperback FIRST RELEASE with stepback/duplex printing. It is only available for a limited time and is an EARLY release, which means it is available a few weeks before the Ebook, Trade Paperback and Hardcover release on August 24th.
