Terrible Tide

by Charlotte MacLeod

The tiny New Brunswick village was a lifetime away from the world of a New York fashion model, but a freak accident had sent Holly Howe there to recover in seclusion and take a job as a servant at the mysterious Cliff House. Perched high above the bay, the gloomy mansion is filled with priceless antiques, a bedridden woman, and unexplained bumps in the night. Though Holly doesn't believe in ghosts, she becomes unsettled by eerie happenings during the full moon and the high tides. As she navigates her new life, she must uncover the secrets of the mansion: who is lurking in the dark, what is the strange buoy light off-shore, why is a handsome young craftsman visiting so often, and why do the ebony eyes of the withered old woman upstairs suddenly stare back at her, wide, clear, and luminously gray?
