Gallows Shore

Paige came to the harbor to disappear. A strategist who spent her life tearing things down, she expected to stay just long enough to finish one last report and move on. She didn't expect the salt-thick air, the unrelenting rhythm of the tide, or the man who refuses to let her drift away.

Miller, a man as unyielding as the Atlantic itself, knows the sea doesn't offer guarantees—only the next wave. As winter tightens its grip on the coast, the line between Paige's past and her future begins to blur. For the first time, the work isn't just a job; it's a foundation. But as the harbor life demands more than she ever intended to give, Paige must decide if she's finally ready to stop running and plant her roots in the one place she never thought to call home.

A story of resilience, the quiet power of connection, and the courage it takes to build a life worth staying for.
