About the Book:

Book two in the smuggling trilogy.

Jiddy Vardy relishes her return to Robin Hood’s Bay…

…where high spring tides can sweep unsuspecting strangers into deep water.

Jiddy is immediately immersed in smuggling runs, childhood friendships and the kisses of the one she loves.

She is in her element, and she is invincible.

But Jonas wants to earn an ‘honest’ living, Jiddy’s adoptive mam is sick, and the captain of the Dragoons is more determined than ever to capture Bay Town’s intrepid smugglers.

As the stakes rise higher, Jiddy has to decide whether to abandon the life she loves or lose Jonas forever.

A compelling, moving story, expertly told.
Andrew Michael Hurley (The Loney, Devil’s Day, Starve Acre)
