Fierce storms rage on the Cornish coast--but their reluctant hearts face an even greater storm.
1877 Cornwall, England Meteorologist Hattie Ainsworth has recently accepted a post studying the storm patterns of Blackmoor Bay, publishing her research under a male pseudonym to earn the recognition denied her as a woman. But the information she inadvertently uncovers about a recent shipwreck points to something far darker than weather.

Grief-stricken sea captain Jago Enys lives in self-imposed exile, haunted by the loss of his wife at sea five years ago. Now another ship has shattered against the bay's treacherous rocks, and the only survivor claims he doesn't remember anything. As the local magistrate, Jago must lead the inquiry.

When Hattie's scientific findings raise unsettling questions, Jago is drawn into a deeper search for the truth and, unwillingly, to Hattie herself, even as the stakes turn more dangerous. Together, Hattie and Jago must race to expose the wreckers before the next ship is lost--and face the reckoning that awaits in their own troubled hearts.
