Publisher's Synopsis
When the Tides Turn is a poignant, beautifully written novel about returning home-not just to a place, but to the truths and people we once left behind. After fifteen years away, Lena Hart returns to Driftwood Bay to settle her late parents' estate, only to find the seaside town-and the man she once loved-waiting with memories she thought she'd buried.
What begins as a reluctant homecoming turns into a transformative summer. As Lena navigates old heartbreaks, forgotten letters, and a house full of echoes, she finds herself drawn back to Caleb Reaves-the boy she once couldn't forget, now a man with a life, and wounds, of his own.
In this slow-burn, emotionally rich romance, past and present collide as Lena must decide: will she cling to the ambition that once drove her away, or choose a future built on rediscovered love, quiet resilience, and the kind of peace that only comes when we stop running?
