Overview

She swore she’d never come back. But Evermere was always waiting.

When Helena Ward left Evermere at eighteen, she never planned to return. She built a life in New York, far from the coastal town that held too many memories—of her grandmother, the house on the hill, and most of all, Marina Lewis, the girl she left behind without a word.

But when her grandmother passes away, Helena is forced to return to settle the estate—and the past she tried to forget. The house is in ruins, her brother barely speaks to her, and Marina? She’s still there, running the same café-bookstore where they once spent endless summer nights. Only now, she looks at Helena like a stranger. Or worse—like someone she once loved and refuses to love again.

Then Helena finds a bundle of letters hidden in the house—letters her grandmother kept secret for a lifetime. Letters that hold a story Helena never knew. A love story that mirrors her own more than she ever expected.

As she uncovers the truth, she’s faced with the hardest question of Is it too late to make things right? Or were some tides always meant to bring her home?

A heart-wrenching, slow-burn second-chance romance set against the windswept shores of Maine, Where Tides End is a story of love, regret, and finding the courage to stay.
