Isla Merrick swore she'd never return to Windhaven, the sleepy coastal town where her happiest memories intertwined with the deepest scars of her heart. But when she inherits The Tidesong Inn-a weathered, salt-kissed relic perched on the cliffs-she's forced to confront the ghosts of her past and the legacy her family left behind.
Determined to breathe life back into the crumbling inn that once thrived under her grandmother's care, Isla begins a journey of restoration. But The Tidesong is more than just a building; its history runs as deep as the tides that crash against its foundation. Hidden among its walls are letters, journals, and secrets left by her father-a man whose mysterious departure shattered her family and her childhood.
With each floorboard repaired and every faded memory unearthed, Isla finds herself rebuilding more than just the inn. She's reclaiming the pieces of herself that were lost in the wake of her father's departure. Yet she can't do it alone. Enter Callum Drake, the rugged, no-nonsense contractor who seems to carry as much baggage as Isla. Beneath his stoic demeanor is a man whose steady presence and quiet encouragement begin to chip away at the walls Isla has built around her heart.
As The Tidesong comes alive again, so does Isla's connection to the town she once fled. Neighbors rally to help, friendships are rekindled, and a community blossoms around the inn. But the secrets buried in her family's past threaten to resurface, bringing questions of trust, sacrifice, and the weight of legacy to the forefront.
Through nights spent combing through her grandmother's journal, days of hard labor restoring the inn, and moments of raw vulnerability with Callum, Isla learns the power of resilience. She discovers that love-both for a place and a person-requires as much care and effort as restoring the inn's cracked foundations.
In Where Tides Meet, the sweeping vistas of the coast mirror the ebb and flow of Isla's journey as she confronts loss, rebuilds her future, and embraces the beauty of second chances. It's a story of love rooted in family, tied to place, and shaped by the tides of time.
Heartfelt, atmospheric, and brimming with hope, Where Tides Meet invites readers to a windswept world where love and belonging are built brick by brick-and where the sea always guides you home.
