Sunset by the Sea

Rose McKenzie is no stranger to running.

After the death of her father threatens to bring her back under her mother’s control permanently, Rose flees again. This time it’s to the only sanctuary she’s ever known: a tiny island called Nora.


A shadow looms over her childhood haven.

The longer she stays in Nora, the more Rose realizes the island she knew has changed. Families are leaving in droves, and strangers are taking their places, strangers that don’t seem… human. This leaves her stuck between the fight for Nora and her startling attraction towards a mysterious man as beautiful as the sea, who may or may not be involved with Nora’s alarming decline.


The world isn’t as it seems.

All Rose ever wanted was to make Nora her home, but as more secrets come to light, she becomes entangled in a war as old as humanity itself. Between threats on her life, mysterious voices that call out for help in her dreams, and the man she can’t seem to get out of her mind, will she survive long enough to build the life she truly longs for?


Sunset by the Sea is the first book in the Golden Isles Series and part of the wider Otherkind Universe. It's a slow-build paranormal romance with two non-human love interests and no need for our heroine to choose between them. These novels must be read in order. The overarching story will have a HEA at the end of book 4. For more information regarding tropes and content, please check out the author's website.
