Description
Elena Harper returns to Foamcrest Cove at forty-something, unlocking the long-closed doors of her family’s Driftwood Artisan Studio. Fifteen years after a shattering breakup, she is determined to rebuild her life on her own terms, turning salvaged wood into beauty while protecting the heart she has only recently pieced back together.
A violent storm damages the marina boardwalk and forces Elena into a reluctant partnership with Jack Whitaker, the steady contractor who was once her first love. Together they must redesign the artisan stalls before a corporate developer can claim the waterfront for profit. Daily meetings on the damaged boardwalk slowly thaw old silences, revealing laughter, quiet understanding, and the sparks neither of them expected to feel again.
As the town rallies and rumors swirl, Elena wrestles with the fear of trusting someone who once broke her. Jack, too, carries his own doubts about second chances. Yet every shared task—salvaging driftwood, calming panicked locals, facing down the developer—draws them closer to the truth they have both been avoiding: some hearts, like driftwood, are meant to find their way home.
In this tender second-chance romance set against salt air and weathered boardwalks, two guarded souls discover that healing is possible when they stop guarding their hearts and start building something lasting together.
