The Shore That Waited
A Winter MM Paranormal Romance


Jonah Whitlock has always believed distance is safer than love.
After a quiet breakup leaves him hollow and restless, Jonah escapes to a remote coastal village at the edge of winter—expecting solitude, not answers. But the sea has other plans. From the moment he arrives, something pulls at him. A hidden path. A nameless shore. A presence that feels older than memory.
Aeron Vale has watched the coast for centuries.
Bound to the sea by an ancient vow, Aeron exists between tide and stone, protector and prisoner. He does not expect Jonah—the man who should never have found this place, yet somehow belongs to it. Their connection is immediate, unsettling, and impossible to ignore.
As winter deepens and the solstice draws near, Jonah is forced to confront a truth he has spent his life avoiding: the numbness he calls safety is slowly destroying him. And Aeron must face a choice that could cost him everything he has sworn to protect.
Because some shores do not call to be visited.
They call to be chosen.
The Shore That Waited is a slow-burn MM paranormal romance filled with atmospheric magic, emotional intimacy, and a love that asks one impossible question:
What if staying is braver than leaving?
