Marlow House could be her way out of debt. There is only one complication: Elias Reed, the restoration carpenter assessing the building, is the man she once planned a future with.Eight years apart have done little to quiet their attraction.

Its message connects Nora's grandmother to the tragedy that destroyed Elias's father's reputation.Drawn into a search through old letters, missing records, and conflicting memories, Nora and Elias discover that the people they loved left more than one version of the past behind. As their feelings deepen, uncovering the truth could threaten Nora's fresh start-and force them both to question the stories they have lived by.Can they build a future together without hiding from what came before?Set against a windswept English coastline, The House Between Tides is a contemporary, second-chance romance weaving small-town warmth, family secrets, and an emotional mystery into a hopeful love story.
