The Shore
She never believed in forever. Until him.
About the Book
Some people come to the Outer Banks for the sand and surf. Ryan Blake came for the quiet.
After running from heartbreak, she wasn't looking for love. She certainly wasn't looking for Cody Calloway, the steady, charismatic man who shows up when her car breaks down and refuses to make a big deal out of it.
Cody has spent years building something solid from his own loss. He wasn't looking either. But Ryan has a way of finding the cracks in walls people think are permanent.
Between the salt air and the string lights, between the people who become family before you realize it's happening, Ryan and Cody discover that sometimes the life you stopped hoping for has been waiting at the shore all along.
The Shore Series begins here.
The Characters
Ryan Blake
Sharp-witted and fiercely independent, Ryan has never needed anyone to take care of her, and she's proud of it. She notices everything and says exactly what she thinks, but underneath the guarded exterior is someone who loves hard once she lets someone in. She isn't looking to be rescued, just someone who can keep up with her.
Cody Calloway
Steady, low-key, and impossible to rattle, Cody is the guy who shows up without making a thing of it. He's spent years building a quiet, solid life after loss, and he's good at taking care of everyone but himself. Cody doesn't chase, he shows up, again and again, until Ryan realizes he's not going anywhere.
