About Ebb Tide by Leah Murray
A past full of trauma, a present full of danger, a future worth fighting for
Ex-Navy pilot Will Fletcher has returned home to the fishing village of Looe, Cornwall, and bought a pub. As far as he’s concerned, he’s done with the military, with trouble, and with women. All he’s interested in is living a quiet life in the country with his dogs and his boat.
Desperate to escape a traumatic past, local vet Jo Williams has fled her native New Zealand for Looe. She’s finding her new home rather lonely, but a relationship is the last thing she wants. After all, her stalker ex-boyfriend Jack is the reason she ran in the first place. Yet when Jo meets Will the chemistry between them is undeniable, and it is clear that fate has her own plans for them. Unfortunately, so does Jack–and his include murder.

Reader Review
“Great romantic suspense! I was enthralled from the beginning. A veterinarian on the run and a pub owner full of angst and secrets. Grab a beverage of your choice, a sandwich and snacks because you will not want to break for food once you start. Extremely cohesive plot, fascinating characters, drama galore and steamy scenes that actually help move the plot along. This is the first book I have read for this author but it will not be the last. I highly recommend this book.”

Author Bio:
Living life one page at a time
A bookworm, globe-trotter, vegan cook, and animal lover, I firmly believe novels are so much more than just books – they’re an escape into another world. And that’s been a theme in my life. I was born in South Africa in the late 70s and have since spent quite some time traveling and studying. After a few decades working as a freelance writer (turning my hand to everything from IT to medicine, winemaking and fine arts), I’ve now settled down in small-town coastal NZ.
I’m a bit of a Britophile and I’d love to live in an old country house in Cornwall or Yorkshire. Since that’s not possible right now, I escape into my novels set there! Join me if you too are a fan of country house murders and atmospheric British police procedurals. Of course, I’ve been ‘spoiled’ by Rebecca and Nora Roberts so I can’t help but add a dash of romance to my suspense. As a lifelong student of human nature, I’m also quite taken with psychological thrillers so I don’t shy away from the ‘dark side’ or emotional angst, but I absolutely insist on a happy ending. Got to believe that moral arc bends towards justice!
