Tides of Amara (Costa Amara Series #1)

"Magkaibang mundo kami... pero pareho ng dagat na minahal."

Isla Seraphina De Alonzo is the untouchable princess of Costa Amara. Bilang kaisa-isang anak ng may-ari ng pinakamalaking resort sa probinsya, nakaplano na ang buong buhay niya: palawakin ang negosyo ng pamilya at magpakasal sa lalaking kapantay ng kanilang estado.

Lian Gael Villaceran was the boy from the shore. Anak ng isang simpleng mangingisda, he was Isla's secret sanctuary. They grew up chasing sunsets and sharing dreams, until the De Alonzos' ruthless resort expansion violently stripped Lian's family of their land, their livelihood, and his father's life. Sa gitna ng galit at alon, tinangay ng agos ang pagmamahalan na hindi man lang nagkaroon ng pagkakataong lumaya.

Ten years later, the sea brings back its most dangerous storm. Lian returns to Costa Amara not as a lowly fisherman's son, but as the brilliant, ruthless lead engineer and secret majority investor of a massive development threatening to bankrupt the De Alonzos.

Handa si Lian na lunurin sa utang at kahihiyan ang pamilyang nanira sa kanila. Pero paano kung sa bawat pagtama ng alon, at sa bawat mapangahas na titig ni Isla, bumabalik din ang damdaming pilit niyang binaon?

Will they survive the tide, or will they drown in each other all over again?
