She didn't come to Velmoor looking for anything. That was the point. Zara Voss needed a town small enough to get lost in, quiet enough to stop thinking, and far enough from everything she'd left behind that the distance felt like permission. A cousin's spare room. Salt air. A harbor full of fishing boats and fog and people who'd known each other their whole lives. Simple. Safe. Temporary. Then she met Kai Drennan, paint on his hands, coffee on her jacket, and a smile that made temporary feel like a negotiable concept. And then Velmoor stopped being simple. This town has a way of looking like one thing from the outside and being something else entirely up close. Everyone here is warm. Everyone here is kind. Everyone here has known everyone else for decades, and they will welcome you in, and they will remember your name, and they will smile at you across harbor market stalls and dinner tables and festival lights strung red over the water. And some of them have been waiting, very quietly, very patiently, for someone exactly like Zara to never arrive. She arrived anyway. Some places choose you. Velmoor chose Zara Voss. It will wish it hadn't. TIDES OF VELMOOR, a story that begins where love stories begin, and ends somewhere else entirely. Fifteen chapters. One devastating twist. And a final reveal that will make you want to go back to page one and read every single word differently. You will not see it coming. The clues were there the whole time.

And maybe some people are harder to leave behind than she expected.

Nineteen-year-old Lex was dragged to this tiny zip code with nothing but her temper, freshly minted diploma, and snarky comments with the style and attitude to match, like a ticking glitter bomb. messy, chaotic, and hard as hell to get rid of.
