Chasing the Tides

by Bitsy Yates

After a devastating breakup in Seattle, Charlotte swears off love and finds peace by the ocean in Newport, RI, far from romance. But when she crosses paths with Wes, who’s torn between his fiancée and his growing feelings for her, everything changes. As fate—and Wes' mischievous grandmother—push them together, Charlotte and Wes must confront their deepest fears about love and commitment. In a town full of quirky residents, seaside cafes, and sailboats, they’ll discover that love, like the tides, always finds a way—no matter how hard you try to resist it.
