Chasing tides

Seventeen-year-old Brooke Rose thought she'd spend her last summer before senior year riding horses under Montana skies. But when her mom suddenly packs their bags and books a one-way flight to Hawaii, Brooke's entire world flips upside down.

Confused and heartbroken to leave her small-town life behind, Brooke never expects to meet Koa, the charming local boy she bumps into at the airport-literally. Their unexpected connection follows her to the island, and soon, she finds herself drawn to his warmth and easy laughter.

But life in paradise isn't all sunshine. Brooke's mom's best friend opens her home to them, and with that comes Malaki, her mysterious, brooding son who seems to understand Brooke in ways no one else does. Torn between two boys, two worlds, and two versions of herself, Brooke is forced to navigate love, loyalty, and loss all at once.

When her mother reveals a devastating secret-that she's been hiding. Brooke's choices suddenly mean everything. Stay in Hawaii and chase new beginnings, or return to Montana to hold onto the life she's always known?

Between heartbreak and hope, Brooke must discover who she is-and who she wants to be-before it's too late.
