The Shore Series
Where love finds its way home on the Carolina coast
The Shore had always been more than just a place. It was a pulse. The steady beat of friends who became family and love that outlasted the tide. Ryan and Cody. Madison and Declan. Luke and Abby. Each found their way back to themselves, and to each other, by standing shoulder to shoulder through the storms.
Some stories end with a kiss. Theirs ended with a promise: to live, to love, to keep showing up. They'd learned that family isn't blood, or vows, or even names carved in sand. It's the people who stand beside you. Always.
The Shore
She never believed in forever. Until him.
About the Book
Ryan Blake didn't come to the Outer Banks looking for love. She came for quiet, for space to breathe after years of running from heartbreak, from her past, and from herself. But the shore has a way of pulling truths to the surface, and when she breaks down on the side of the road, it's Cody Calloway who shows up. The boy she once knew. But now he's the man she can't seem to forget.
Cody has already lost once. He buried the love of his life, and with her, the future he thought he'd have. Yet when Ryan stumbles back into his world, with her sharp wit, wild spirit, and haunted eyes, something shifts. She makes him want again. She makes him believe.
But second chances don't come without ghosts. Between old scars and new temptations, between the weight of the past and the fragile hope of tomorrow, Ryan and Cody will have to fight. For honesty. For healing. For the kind of love that doesn't let go.
On these Carolina shores, where waves break and begin again, two people discover that sometimes the hardest battles lead to the sweetest homecoming.

About the Book

Declan Healy isn't just the man who sees through her armor, he's the one willing to stand there when it all comes crashing down. With him, Madison finds laughter in the silence, tenderness in the storm, and a passion that makes her question everything she thought she knew about love.
