Saltwater Hearts

Liza Bennett has spent the last six years building the life she always dreamed of.

As an assistant editor at a prestigious London publishing house, she knows exactly how stories are supposed to unfold. Work hard. Keep moving forward. Never look back.

Returning to Bracken Cove to settle her late grandmother's affairs is only a temporary detour.

At least, that's the plan.

Then she comes face-to-face with Theo Mercer.

Once her best friend and the boy who taught her how to surf, Theo is now Bracken Cove's endlessly optimistic surfing instructor, spending his days chasing waves and making strangers fall in love with the sea. He's everything Liza left behind. Everything she swore she had outgrown.

And everything she never quite forgot.

Complicating matters further is Caleb Hart, Liza's sharp-witted colleague from London, who understands the ambitious life she's fought to build and the reasons she left home in the first place.

Caught between old memories and new possibilities, Liza finds herself torn between the future she's carefully planned and the boy who still feels like summer.

As the tide pulls buried feelings back to shore, Liza must decide what matters more: the life she thought she wanted... or the one that has been waiting for her all along.

Because some hearts never stop calling you home.

And some loves are worth learning to ride the wave for.
