What the Low Tide Keeps

Nell told everyone the same thing: two weeks, tops. Two weeks to drive home to Port Ellery, sign the papers, and say goodbye to her father's struggling oyster farm before the sale goes through. Then she would be back in Seattle, back at the firm, back to a life she had measured so carefully it felt certified to hold. But the SALE PENDING sign on her father's gate was hung level, fixed with eleven evenly spaced zip ties, and only one person in town would ever measure the gap between them. Ray has never left Port Ellery, and he has never quite stopped being a part of what Nell walked away from. As the minus tides pull back the water and the town gathers for public comment on the farm's future, Nell finds that two weeks is a very short time to learn what a place has been quietly keeping for you. What the Low Tide Keeps is a warm, closed-door contemporary romance about second chances, small-town loyalty, and the family business worth fighting for.
