Saltwood Tides

A 90-day inheritance clause, a crumbling Victorian manor, and a grumpy fisherman who might just be the biggest storm of them all.

Corporate lawyer Theo Langford fled the small coastal town of Saltwood Bay fifteen years ago, trading ocean spray for a successful life in Seattle. But when his grandmother Maeve passes away, leaving him the historic, weather-beaten Cliffside Manor, her will comes with a strict catch: a ninety-day continuous residency requirement before he can inherit the estate. Trapped in a house that is slowly surrendering to the relentless Pacific weather, Theo just wants to serve his time and get back to his corporate mergers.

Enter Eli Harlan, the fiercely protective, stubborn captain of the Siren's Call. To Eli, Theo is just a "city boy" who abandoned his roots and represents the kind of outside interference threatening their generations-old fishing fleet. But when a catastrophic coastal storm forces the two adversaries to work together to keep the manor's roof from collapsing, the forced proximity sparks a dangerous, electric attraction they can't ignore.

Saltwood Bay is put to the ultimate test when a predatory luxury resort developer targets the harbour, threatening to buy out vulnerable fishermen and destroy the town's way of life.

Caught between the safe, predictable life he built and the town he is beginning to call home, Theo must decide where he truly belongs. Can a rootless lawyer and a deeply anchored fisherman weather the storm, or will the colliding tides tear them apart?

Another new standalone book from River Fox. This book is inspired by the contemporary romances you see on shelves today, but with a heavy queer twist. Eli is afraid to be himself, his journey is very reflective of how many people in the world experience coming out today: Initial fear, but met with love, acceptance, and support. 

For those who choose to weather the storm together. This safe harbour is for you.
