The Ground We Stand On

The ocean is her inheritance. The man sent to take it could become everything she never meant to want.

Freelance videographer Mari Castellano has spent her life on a weather-beaten stretch of California coast, where her grandmother taught her that home is something you fight to keep. Her money is tight, her trailer has seen better decades, and the bluff she loves is priceless to her—even if the rest of the world sees only valuable oceanfront property.

Then Elias Moreau arrives in an expensive suit with a file full of numbers and plans that could erase her world.

He understands deals. She understands the land. They have every reason to resent each other—and far too many reasons to keep finding their way back together.

As family grief, old loyalties, and a proposed sale put the bluff at risk, desire becomes the most dangerous complication of all. Because Mari can survive losing a business deal. She is not sure she can survive handing her heart to the man who may take her home.

A deeply emotional coastal romance about impossible choices, found belonging, and a love that will be tested across three books. Start the A Coastal Legacy Trilogy here.
