He pulled her from the wreck five months ago. He still hasn't let the sea take her back - and now she wants to know why.
Wren survived the wreck. That's the only certainty she's had in five months of healing in a half-sunken keep no chart has ever marked, tended by a man who calls what he did to save her the tide's work and nothing more specific than that. She's done being grateful and patient in equal measure. She wants the truth - about the silver-blue lines spreading beneath her skin, about the six days a slip of the tongue told her she has left, and about why he hasn't sent her home the way he's sent every other survivor home before her.
Voss doesn't have a better word for what the old magic did when it pulled Wren from the drowning dark and refused to let go cleanly. He's spent five months telling himself he's protecting her from a bond that isn't finished. He's spent a quieter, less defensible five months hoping it never has to be.
A Concord survey fleet is a week from charting these waters for the first time, and Wren's sister is closer to finding her than either of them knows. When the tide-moon deadline finally forces the truth into the open, Wren learns the wreck that stranded her was no accident at all - and that the real choice in front of her was never the bond. It's whether she can trust a man who's spent five months managing what she knows, with the one thing he's never once given her: the whole truth, and the right to walk away from it.
Tropes:
- Secret-rescuer / hidden-identity monster mate
- Forced proximity, slow-burn healing romance
- Ticking-clock bond that must be freely chosen
- Sea monster hero, sunken kingdom setting
- Sister-reunion emotional payoff
- Possessive hero, guilt-ridden not entitled
- HEA guaranteed
Book 4 of the Ashveil Realm - standalone HEA, no cliffhanger.
