The Siren of Hollowtide Cove: A Slow-Burn Paranormal Romance Ancient Bargains, Coastal Secrets, and Forbidden Love

The lighthouse above the inn has burned for one hundred years without ever going out. There is no switch. Maren Veyne is about to find out why.She arrives at Hollowtide Cove in early June with a plan: sort the crumbling inn her grandmother left her, settle the estate, and sell. Return to her ordinary life in Bristol - the one that has never quite fit her, but is at least manageable.Then a stranger appears on the front steps at half-past nine, announcing in the formal language of someone reading from a script he doesn't quite believe, that she owes a debt of blood and bargain to the old families of the sea.She asks if he's eaten. He hasn't. She tells him to come in.Calder is not what he appears. He is the siren assigned to collect on a hundred-year-old agreement - except the bargain Maren has inherited was never a debt. It was a ward. Beneath the coastline lies an ancient ocean trench, and what lives there - the Drowned Choir, a vast and hungry entity made of every voice ever lost to the sea - has been pressing at the seal for a century. The lighthouse is the only thing holding the door shut. And the door is weakening.Calder arrived with a script and no intention of staying. But Maren is stubborn, practical, and unnervingly good at asking questions past the point where most people stop. By midsummer, the mirrors are showing things they shouldn't. A guest sleepwalks to the waterline at three in the morning. The singing in the walls has started to sound like voices she recognises.And neither of them can pretend, any longer, that this arrangement is purely professional.The Siren of Hollowtide Cove is a slow-burn paranormal romance set on the Cornish coast - warm, atmospheric, and quietly electric, with ancient mythology, family secrets woven across generations, and a love story that takes all summer to name itself.
