Low Tide Secrets : A Coastal Grace Mystery (The Coastal Grace Mysteries Book 1)

Some truths are buried by time. Others by the people we love most.

Attorney Anna Kate Mercer has built her life around careful words, old deeds, and the quiet conviction that truth matters before healing can begin. When the estate of Evelyn Whitcomb lands on her desk, it appears to be a simple probate file tied to an old coastal cottage in Providence Bay, North Carolina.

But Evelyn left behind more than a will.

A missing deed.
A hidden marriage.
A child erased from the record.
A sealed wall inside a cottage that seems to remember what everyone else tried to forget.

With the help of restoration architect Reid Lawson, Anna Kate follows a trail through courthouse records, church ledgers, family Bibles, and the marsh at low tide. What she uncovers reaches back more than seventy years, to a love story silenced by pride, fear, and family reputation.

As old secrets surface, Anna Kate must decide how far she is willing to go to honor the truth, even when the law cannot fix everything the past has broken.

Faith-forward, emotionally rich, and set against the beauty of coastal southeastern North Carolina, Low Tide Secrets is a Christian contemporary mystery romance about family legacy, redeeming love, and the grace that waits on the other side of truth.
