Rising Tide

On the surface Claire seems like the typically beautiful, conceited, teen heiress with men swooning at her feet. But is there a reason for her incredible luck and charm? And is she more than what meets the eye?

Growing up Claire was never allowed near the water. But an intense desire to be near the ocean leads her to go to fashion school in L.A., where all of her stereotypes are about to be discarded when she falls in love with a handsome beach bum named Sebastian who seems oddly out of place on land. When Sebastian turns out to be a merman, Claire is transported to a dark underwater world she never could have imagined, and finds that she is the one out of place. Or is she?

Secrets seem to lurk beneath the dark underworld, from a mysterious great grandmother, a moody lover, a lying uncle, a legendary savior, and a series of unexpected and unexplained natural disasters on land. Claire finds that she might be the connection between all of these, or at least told she is. But the only answers she receives are through unwanted, horrific, visions and dreams of what’s turning out to be a real nightmare. And if she isn’t already too late, she may be the only one who has the power to stop what seems like impending war between the land and the sea.

Rising Tide is a dark, romantic YA novel.
