The Vow Beneath the Water

She offered him a marriage bargain. Neither expected love to be the dangerous part.

Mara Venn repairs broken things-and hears the promises trapped in silver. When Bellweather threatens to flood her home and workshop over a debt she doesn't owe, she strikes a bargain with the man sent to collect it.

Elias Rook will save her home. In return, she will marry him and help unravel the magical oath that binds him to the city's service.

Their marriage has careful terms. Love isn't one of them.

But behind Elias's feared reputation lies a secret buried beneath Bellweather: a woman whose stolen freedom keeps the sea at bay. Freeing her could save Elias. It could also drown the city.

As Mara follows the voices in the silver, wary cooperation becomes a desire neither can easily set aside. Yet Elias has concealed choices that could destroy her trust, and the people who profit from Bellweather's promises have no intention of letting them go.

Mara knows how to mend what others abandon. This time, she must decide what deserves saving-and which vows must break.

The Vow Beneath the Water begins The Bellweather Vows, an adult romantic fantasy series featuring a marriage of convenience, costly magic, slow-building desire and a hard-earned happy ending. Includes sensual romance and fade-to-black intimacy.
