What Only the Heart Can Hear
(2026)(The second book in the Songs of the Salish Sea series)
A novel by Charlotte McGregor
Love finds its voice when we listen beyond the noise.
Whale season brings crowds to Tofino, but single mom Esther Johnson is juggling more than tourists. With two deaf children and a whale-watch business on the brink, she can’t afford distractions—least of all Dominic Gordon, a brilliant, brooding tech entrepreneur who didn’t come to the coast for romance.
A close call on the water and a series of hard choices bind them together, revealing a connection that speaks in silence and steadies in storms. When family, community, and survival collide, Esther and Dominic must decide if love can be heard above the noise—and if they’re brave enough to listen.
★★★
What Only The Heat Can Hear is the scond novel in the Songs Of The Salish Sea trilogy.
While you can read each story as a standalone this is the upcoming order of my series including publishing dates:
