Wreathed in Tide & Torment

When she crosses paths with a handsome detective, a half-fae thief sees a chance at a new life. As long as she can keep her secrets.

Enforcer to the city's most vicious criminal, Aly knows what to do when the police catch up to her. Keep her mouth shut and her sleeves down to hide the scars that betray her most serious crime: selling her own magic to survive.

But when the body of a local politician is discovered and Aly is found with his missing jewellery, the arresting officer takes her by surprise. Generous, thoughtful and ethical, Calum is the kind of detective she's never dealt with.

Especially once she convinces him that she's nothing more than a pickpocket. He offers her a bargain: help him solve the murder and he'll grant amnesty for her petty crimes. It's a chance to start over, free of her violent boss.

But there's a catch. If he learns she's committed anything more serious than theft, he won't think twice about taking her down. And if he finds out she sold magic, it won't be a prison sentence that awaits her.

It will be banishment to Faerie.

As they chase the bloody connections linking the dead politician to the city's underbelly and even the fae, Aly fights to hide the true extent of her crimes. Yet the fragile trust between them blooms into something deeper, and soon Aly finds herself gambling not just her freedom, but her heart.

Wreathed in Tide & Torment is a slow burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a forbidden romance, a morally grey heroine, and a cinnamon roll love interest.
