When the tide brings her back to the town she swore she'd never return to, she isn't ready for the man waiting on the shore.
Brighttide is a story of grief, forgiveness, and the quiet ways love finds us again. Set in a windswept coastal town where everyone knows your name-and your mistakes-this emotionally rich romance follows a woman rebuilding her life after loss and a man who never stopped believing she'd come home.
They were young once. Reckless. In love in the kind of way that feels like destiny.
Then everything fell apart.
Now years later, she's back with scars she doesn't talk about and dreams she's afraid to trust. He's stayed, rooted to the town and the people who raised him, carrying the weight of everything left unsaid between them.
Old feelings don't fade easily. Neither do old wounds.
As storms roll in and secrets surface, they're forced to confront the past-and the future they might still claim together. Brighttide is a heartfelt story about coming home, choosing forgiveness, and daring to love again when the tide turns.
Perfect for readers who love: - Small-town romance
- Second chances
- Emotionally layered love stories
- Irish coastal settings
- Found family
