Winter Tides

Nearly fifteen years ago, on a deserted southern California beach, Dave Quinn swam out into the winter ocean to save two drowning girls - identical twin sisters. He was only able to save one.
Still haunted by the memory of his half-failed heroism, Dave immerses himself in the reality and illusion of a theater props company. When he meets Anne, a struggling artist from Canada, he has no idea that she is the child he saved so many years ago. Pursued by the threatening and jealous specter of her long-dead sister Elinor, Anne has been drawn back to the scene of her childhood tragedy.
The truth will bring Dave and Anne together - and trap them in the swirling undercurrents of Elinor's hatred. To destroy their happiness, Elinor will find a man whose own dark passions match her own. And once in possession of his soul, she will be able to avenge her own missed chances and lost dreams - and live again.
In the wake of Elinor's rage, Dave and Anne fight to stay afloat - and are given a second chance to survive the storms of the past and find redemption.
