The Storm Runner's Bargain
A Coastal Romantic Suspense Novel

About this book:

The storm isn't the only thing trapping them on Sentinel Island.

Maeve Callahan has kept the light burning through hurricanes, isolation, and the government's quiet expectation that she'll fail. She doesn't need a half-drowned stranger with a ruined reputation and a locked brass box full of secrets washing up on her rocks. Julian Gentry—disgraced racing captain, suspected drunk, and the only man who reads the shifting barometer better than she does—claims he was just delivering a boat. But the cutter *Vagrant* didn't carry cargo. It carried something worth killing for. And the men who own it are already fighting the same seas to get it back.

Cut off from the mainland by a hurricane that refuses to break, Maeve and Julian circle each other in the lantern's glow: she guarding her station, he guarding his silence. But the tower's thick walls can't keep out the past—not his, not hers, and not the truth about what sank in the Meat Grinder. As the pressure drops and the water rises, the only thing more dangerous than the ocean is the bargain they'll have to strike to survive the night.
