Description

HOW DEEP IS A MOTHER'S LOVE? Newly married to a man of wealth and reputation who's willing to be stepfather to her daughter Abigail, Sara Bonniface would seem to have all she's ever wanted for Abby: a beautiful home, a man to be there for her, and the assurance of a top education for the bright if headstrong child. But twelve-year-old Abby has other ideas, embarking on a crusade to learn more about her birth father. Relentless and computer-savvy, Abby manages to track down and then drag Ben McElwyn, ex-cop and now a P.I., back into Sara's life. It's the last thing that Sara needs. She's already under assault from a series of mystifying events that have her dreading the possibility that she's suffering from schizophrenia, the affliction that destroyed her own mother. It's the last thing that Ben needs. He's a lone wolf and determined to stay that way. Him —the father of a twelve-year-old daughter? He refuses to believe it. It's the last thing that Rodger Bonniface, Abby's stepfather, needs. Headmaster of a prestigious prep school in Massachusetts, Rodger's reputation is pristine. Rich, controlling, and cooly charming, Rodger has surprised everyone by marrying a woman with neither his background nor his sophistication. Still, Sara has great beauty, so they understand. And before her marriage she was a respectable widow, a sympathetic figure— everyone, including Rodger, believed. Until twelve-year-old Abby lobs that hand grenade into the elegant quarters of the house called Tidewater. REVIEWS "A spellbinding thriller that is both intense and riveting." —Romantic Times "With a flare matching Hitchcock, Antoinette Stockenberg delivers a wonderfully twisted story that is all too typical of what goes on today." —The Romance Reader's Connection "Five stars: This book has it all! It satisfied me on many levels. It has a touching romantic reunion, gut-twisting suspense, and wrenching emotional impact. Ms. Stockenberg excels at novels that explore the mother/daughter relationship, and this one is no exception. If you like suspense, romance, and family relationships, all wrapped up in a credible story, Tidewater should make you very happy." —Teresa Medeiros, New York Times bestselling author "Five stars: "A fast-paced story that puts the major characters in the middle of some very tough decisions. This is a great book, with wonderful characters and a stirring story. Try it and see what secrets can be buried when the tide washes over ...." —Shirley Jump , New York Times bestselling author "A compulsively readable suspense story." —The Romance Reader "Tidewater is a fast-paced, intriguing seaside suspense novel of betrayal, deception, family and love. Stockenberg delivers strong emotions, relationships, and sharp dialogue." —Writers Club Romance Group
