Tides of Temptation

Sienna returns to the crumbling family estate on Crescent Harbor after her divorce, determined to focus on her marine biology research. The cracked seawall and failing property line quickly pull her into a crisis that threatens both her childhood home and the neighboring pier.

Reid, the boat captain next door, watches her arrival with the weight of twenty years of silence between them. When a surveyor confirms the wall is collapsing and endangering both properties, their opposing approaches—her legal precision and his practical labor—collide at the edge of the sinkhole.

A nor’easter forces them to work side by side, moving concrete and securing lines through wind and rain. In the shelter of the equipment shed and the quiet of Reid’s cabin, old promises resurface and new truths emerge about the choices they each made long ago.

As legal threats from developers and personal temptations from her old life test them, Sienna and Reid must decide whether the foundation they are rebuilding can hold against every tide that tries to pull them apart.
