The Second Tide
Ellie Williams

When coastal engineer Marin James returns to her crumbling hometown to sell her late mother’s cottage, she unearths a tin of sea-glass letters—cryptic notes from the 1970s that hint at a buried environmental conspiracy. As Marin digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling link between her mother’s past and BlueCoast, the corporation now threatening the same fragile marshlands.
While battling to expose the truth, Marin must also face the ruins of her own past—including the man she once loved and left. As old feelings resurface and long-held secrets come to light, Marin is forced to decide what kind of future she’s willing to fight for.
Told in dual timelines, The Second Tide is a sweeping story of legacy, resistance, rekindled love, and the quiet strength it takes to begin again.
