Nerissa expects to die on a storm-battered ship after violence leaves her surrounded by wreckage and strangers. Instead, she is rescued by Kaelorn, a powerful sea warrior searching for a missing princess. There is only one problem: Nerissa is not the woman he believes he has found. Too injured and uncertain to untangle the misunderstanding immediately, she is carried into a world of ocean kingdoms, dangerous loyalties, and expectations she was never meant to bear. Kaelorn’s protectiveness should make the deception easier to survive, but every act of care makes the truth harder to hide. As the two cross hostile waters, Nerissa begins to understand that the identity others gave her may be false, yet the feelings growing between them are painfully real. Her past holds unanswered questions about where she came from, while the sea folk around her are dealing with threats and political tensions that make one mistaken queen more than a personal complication. When the truth can no longer remain buried, Nerissa must decide whether she has the courage to claim a future based on choice rather than borrowed identity. The False Tide Queen is a seafaring fantasy romance filled with mistaken identity, stormy voyages, sea folk, royal intrigue, emotional healing, and a protective hero who must learn that the woman beside him does not need to be the princess he sought in order to become the queen he chooses.
