Evie Mercer crossed the world to find a different life. Now she has to learn how to live it.
After leaving Brooklyn behind, Evie arrives in Margaret River, Western Australia with a house among the eucalyptus trees, a few suitcases and no real idea what happens next.
For years, her life had been shaped by responsibility, expectation and the legacy of the father she loved. Walking away from that world had taken courage.
Living without it may prove harder.
At first, Evie's new life is made from small things. Coffee at Riversmith. Galahs appearing on the deck. Unfamiliar roads slowly becoming familiar. People who have no interest in who she used to be or what she once achieved.
Then she becomes involved with Karri Rooms, a much-loved community space facing an uncertain future, and discovers that belonging cannot be bought, planned or hurried.
It has to be built.
One conversation, one friendship and one ordinary day at a time.
And then there is Mara.
Sharp, funny and fiercely independent, Mara is carrying questions of her own about work, family and the difference between staying somewhere because you choose it and staying because you never quite found the courage to leave.
As Evie and Mara grow closer, opportunities begin pulling at both of them from different directions.
Then New York calls.
Mercer & Lowe offers Evie something she never expected: not the old life she escaped, but an extraordinary opportunity to do the work she once loved on entirely different terms.
For the first time, there is no obviously wrong choice.
Margaret River has given her community, possibility and the beginnings of love.
New York still holds people she cares about, work that matters and a version of herself she no longer needs to reject.
Now Evie must discover whether building a new life really means choosing one world and abandoning another - or whether becoming yourself sometimes means refusing to live by choices other people have already defined for you.
Where the Tide Finds You - Book Two: Margaret River is a warm, uplifting story about new beginnings, love, friendship, community, second chances and discovering what it really means to belong.
The tide brought her here.
Now she has to decide what makes her stay.
