She grew up on the water. He just lost everything on land.
Neither of them saw this coming.
Melody Santos has salt water in her veins. Raised on her father's fishing boat at the tip of Cape Cod, she was destined for a career studying the marine mammals she's loved since childhood… until grief put those plans on hold, and she came home to care for her mother instead.
Dr. John Thomas Harrington IV – Harry, to his friends – finds himself at a crossroad. Denied tenure, jobless, and homeless, the marine ecologist arrives in Provincetown to sort through his late great-aunt's estate: a crumbling Victorian crammed with art, antiques, and absolutely no answers about what comes next.
Two people. Two lives upended. One coastline.
When Harry takes a job as the naturalist aboard Melody's uncle's whale-watching boat, sparks fly faster than harpoons. On the water, they're perfectly in sync. Onshore, the pull between them is even harder to ignore.
He's a disgraced academic with nowhere to go. She's a dreamer stuck in dry-dock. Both are drifting… but maybe they're meant to drift together.
Is this just a summer romance...
Or the start of something that could last a lifetime?
