Two wounded hearts. One quiet town. And the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Sophia Sinclair never planned to return to Aveline. But when a letter from her late grandmother arrives-containing nothing but a key, a compass symbol, and a single line of poetry-she's drawn back to the coastal town she once called home. There, among the salt-kissed winds and whispers of the past, she finds more than dusty letters and buried family mysteries. She finds Dominic Carter.
A quiet writer with shadows in his eyes and secrets of his own, Dominic isn't looking for love. He came to Aveline to forget, to disappear into stories that don't hurt. But Sophia is a story he didn't see coming-a woman who stirs the parts of him still aching to believe in something more.
As the two unravel a decades-old love story hidden in Sophia's grandmother's journals, they're drawn into the lives of Grace Sinclair and Helena Selwyn-two women who loved fiercely in a time that demanded silence. The discovery of their hidden garden, cryptic letters, and legacy of quiet rebellion forces Sophia and Dominic to confront their own fears: of being seen, of being vulnerable, of being left behind again.
But Aveline has a way of revealing what matters most. And sometimes, the tide doesn't pull us apart-it brings us home.
Heartfelt, romantic, and layered with mystery, The Tide Between Us is a story of second chances, of love that transcends time, and of the quiet courage it takes to let someone in.
Perfect for fans of emotionally rich romance, small-town stories, and slow-burning love with deep roots, this novel will leave you believing that the past is never truly gone-and that the right love can still find you, even when you've stopped looking.
