Sent to deceive. Destined to protect. Under the cover of a false identity, mercenary Lena Schuett infiltrates a peaceful coastal village, only to find herself drawn to Panatsaya "Miu" Natsha, the daughter of the village chief. As hidden agendas collide with growing feelings, Lena discovers that the greatest danger isn't her mission-it's the possibility of losing the only person who's ever made her want a different life. Beneath the Quiet Tide is a slow-burn sapphic romance filled with secrets, suspense, and the hope that love can be found even in the darkest of tides.
