They called it a tribute voyage: round Ireland in five days, funded by a dead man's son, watched live by thousands who never once looked away.

Thirty years ago, the yacht Kestrel went down off Loop Head in a September storm, and a young navigator took the blame that ruined his life. His daughter has spent every year since gathering proof he didn't deserve it — and has finally engineered her way onto Kestrel II's crew, sailing under a name that isn't her own.

Skipper Aoife Devlin was fifteen years old the last time this coast took a boat apart. She has spent thirty years not remembering exactly what she saw. Now, with a storm building faster than any forecast and a body found at the base of the mast, she is going to have to.

Somewhere between Dún Laoghaire and the rocks that killed three people once already, six more are about to find out exactly what this coastline is capable of keeping — and what it's finally ready to give back.

Lee Shore is a slow-burn nautical thriller about the stories families tell to survive themselves, and what it costs to finally stop telling them — the first standalone thriller in Wild Beauty Fiction, from the author of the illustrated Painter's Road trilogy.
