The Tide series is Carly Spade’s departure from the supernatural. This two-book contemporary romance is set in the world of marine biology and shark research, with an enemies-to-lovers dynamic at its core.
The Other Tide (2019) pairs Dr. Samantha Smith with shark expert Luke Jansen on a two-year ocean expedition to locate great white shark breeding grounds. Luke is a shark attack survivor, adding personal stakes to what is already a tense professional partnership. The Approaching Tide (2020) is a shorter companion novella connected to the same story. The series draws inspiration from real-life shark conservationists and ocean research, giving it a grounded quality that sets it apart from Spade’s mythology-based fiction.
