ONLY THE TIDE REMEMBERS - A Grieving Alpha Romance

She came to finish her mother's research. She didn't expect to find her mother's secret—or fall for the grieving Alpha who's been guarding it for years. Orla Fenn has spent her career documenting other people's bonds, never her own. Unmarked since birth, she's made peace with a life on the outside of pack magic—until a research trip to Tidemark territory cracks open an archive her late mother visited decades ago, and never spoke of again. Alpha Riordan Cael hasn't stood at the cliff's edge since the night he lost his mate. His dark mark is a wound the whole pack tiptoes around. The last thing he needs is an outside researcher pulling threads he's spent fourteen months trying not to look at. But Orla isn't just digging through old records. She's standing in the exact place her mother once stood—and feeling an echo she was told her kind could never feel. Every clue pulls her closer to a truth her mother buried, and closer to the one man who might finally understand what it means to be marked by grief instead of magic. As the past and present collide, Orla must decide: walk away with the answers she came for, or stay and risk everything for a bond the packs say isn't supposed to exist. Some things the tide carries in. Some things, it never lets go. Only the Tide Remembers is a full-length, emotionally charged standalone romance in The Unmarked Legacy Series — read it on its own, or alongside Book One, Where No Mark Falls. The ending will wreck you in the best way. Don't wait to find out what the tide brought back.
