Tides of Change by Lisa Linden

A stranger with secrets. A deputy with doubts. And a danger that’s closing in…

Garrett Whitlock has two priorities: his job as a deputy sheriff and raising his son. He doesn’t have time for secrets or distractions, and the town’s newcomer is both.

Ethan Cole is a bestselling thriller author who never expected to be living inside one of his own plots. He’s come to Seacliff Cove looking for anonymity, but the town’s tempting deputy watches him too closely. When the trouble Ethan thought he left behind catches up to him, Garrett is the only person he can trust.
The more time Ethan and Garrett spend together, the harder it is to resist what’s building between them. But when the threat to Ethan escalates, Garrett is caught in the crossfire.
Can they survive the menace drawing closer? And what will it mean for their hearts?

Tides of Change is a heart-pounding, heartwarming, small town, slow burn MM romance with a single dad, a bi-awakening, and romantic suspense.
