After the Storm

In the shadow of a decade of silence, can he finally stop fighting the tide?

Reid Kinkaid has spent years playing the ghost of Gallows Cove. From his secluded workshop, he has built a life defined by distance, duty, and the crushing weight of a past he is certain the town will never forgive. He is a man who fixes broken things—engines, hulls, and shattered mechanisms—yet he remains the one thing he cannot repair: himself.

Then comes Maeve, a woman who doesn't see a recluse to be feared, but a man who has simply forgotten how to be anchored.

As the storms that batter the coast begin to mirror the turmoil within him, Reid is forced to confront the truth about his own self-imposed exile. When the town he avoided for years proves that his guilt was a prison of his own making, he must decide if he is brave enough to step out of the shadows.

For the first time, Reid realizes that the most terrifying voyage isn't the one across the sea—it's the one back to the person he was meant to be. After the Storm is a heartfelt, maritime-infused romance about letting go of the wreckage, finding the courage to be known, and finally dropping anchor in the one place that feels like home.
