My Enemy in the Water

The sea gives, and the sea takes back. I am Alasdair, head of security at a tidal power plant on the Scottish coast, and I have one job: keep the turbines turning and the corrosion in our water a secret. Then a saboteur slips into my turbine hall at low tide, and the moment her hand touches mine, my wolf howls for the first time in months. Eilidh is not a terrorist. She is a curse-breaker, and every pipe she breaks slows a debt that is poisoning my pack. The Council commissioner who signs my paychecks wants this plant to fail. My younger brother's hands are already shaking the way mine did. And Eilidh knows more about this curse than she will say. One tide remains before the debt comes due.

Place and Time: Carnmouth, a small werewolf-run coastal town in northern Scotland, in the year 1984.
