The Shore and the Tide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995065906)

He was her safest love ... and her greatest regret.

Five years have gone by since Amelia Hayes spent a summer in Miami, but grief-filled memories remain her constant companion. When her niece, Sophie, suggests moving to a North Atlantic fishing town for a fresh start, Amelia realizes that the day she left her heart behind-tangled up with the blue-eyed sailor she can't forget-was the day she stopped living.

The smell of the sea, the tumultuous deep-blue waves, and the mysterious, whitewashed lighthouse of Lyn Harbor charm Amelia as soon as she arrives. There, she forms new friendships with a feisty bed and breakfast hostess who knows too much, a foul-mouthed sailor with a heart of gold, and a whimsical shop owner, but hints of him keep invading her new life until there's no mistaking it: Jack Fletcher has reentered her world.

As drawn to her as she is to him, Jack's scarred and hardened life forces Amelia to confront what happened in Miami, and how their lives had irrevocably changed. But before they can fully repair their bruised hearts, Amelia must decide if she can trust love again . . . even if untold secrets risk breaking her heart in a way she never imagined.

Poignant and evocative, The Shore and The Tide is about finding courage after heartbreak, personal growth, and choosing love over fear. Its bittersweet overtones are well-matched with tender romance and comedic relief, and a dash of mystery. Perfect for those who enjoy emotional reads, real-life storylines, and authentic characters.
