When the Tide Takes You

"Stop digging. He will be found if you continue."

Bianca Sinclair is a relentless investigative journalist who lives for the truth, no matter how much it bleeds. Lucian Ashford is the calculated, cold, and irritatingly observant colleague who has spent years keeping a silent ledger of her every move. They are rivals in the newsroom, experts at trading sharp barbs and keeping a professional score.

But when a high-stakes investigation turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, the agency issues a humiliating ultimatum: proximity is the only protection.

Forced to share a single-room apartment and a single mattress, the friction between them turns from professional rivalry into a suffocating, magnetic tension. Bianca is determined to solve the case alone, hiding the threats that follow her home. Lucian, however, is no longer just watching from the sidelines. His protection is becoming an obsession. He knows how she folds her coat. He knows the rhythm of her breath. He knows exactly where she's hiding her secrets.

In a world of edited tapes and target-shaped threats, the most dangerous thing in the room might not be the killer outside the door, but the man standing guard beside her.

A gritty, atmospheric "Enemies to Lovers" and "Forced Proximity" romance, filled with tension, high stakes, and a hero who would burn the world to keep her safe.
