Her marriage was a performance staged for cameras, her career a public execution waiting to happen, and the only home she has left is a dead woman's cottage on an island she barely remembers.
Almost immediately, Wren starts noticing things. A circle of women with secrets far stranger than anyone will admit. An oak tree older than the country, on ground that men in expensive suits have quietly begun to measure. A herd of wild horses led by a golden stallion whose unusual blue eyes keep watching her from a distance. Then there's Clyde Cooper, the rugged preserve manager who turns up at just the right moment and takes her swimming in the moonlight. Wren is certain she's seen those eyes before.
Years of chasing stories taught her to spot patterns that don't add up - and nothing on Saltmarsh adds up. The tide is rising and an ancient bargain is coming due. Wren must piece together the clues her grandmother left before Saltmarsh loses the only fight that matters.
OAKBOUND begins The Saltmarsh Circle, a slow burn shifter romance set in the Gullah Geechee Lowcountry. Fated mates, found family, midlife second chances, and a man who is not what he seems.
One-click OAKBOUND and let Saltmarsh pull you home.
