Tides of Second Chances: A Seabridge Cove Small-Town Romance

Emma Carter has kept Seabridge Cove’s marina alive the only way she knows how: by gripping the wheel harder every time something breaks.

Harbor Day is supposed to be their biggest fundraiser of the year. Instead, the state drops an inspection window right on top of it, and a clipboard shows up with a man attached.

Noah Hale doesn’t do small-town charm. He does safety codes, hard facts, and shutting down anything that looks like it might hurt someone. He’s here to document hazards, not get pulled into Seabridge chaos, or into the orbit of the stubborn harbormaster who runs on caffeine, sarcasm, and sheer refusal to lose.

But when a developer smells blood in the water and starts turning inspections into leverage, Emma and Noah end up on the same side. She needs Harbor Day to succeed or the marina dies. He needs the dock to stop being a lawsuit waiting to happen. Neither of them needs the slow, relentless pull of a connection that makes them want things they can’t afford, especially when one wrong move could cost Emma her livelihood and Noah his career.

In a town where love looks like showing up with tools, where everyone has an opinion, and where the tide never stops testing the weak points, Emma and Noah have to decide what they’re willing to rebuild, and what they’re willing to risk to keep it.

Tides of Second Chances is a small-town romance packed with banter, forced proximity, and community chaos, featuring a protective hero who falls hard, set against the salty, stubborn heart of Seabridge Cove.
