Tides of the Heart
By Emma Dreamweaver
Description:
After a decade away, photographer Isabel Thorne returns to Rosemere Isle, a place she once called home but now finds filled with memories she'd rather forget. With the recent passing of her mother, Isabel is tasked with settling her estate-an emotional journey that reopens old wounds, including a failed engagement and the lingering question of whether she ever truly belonged on the island.
As she navigates the quiet beauty of the island's windswept shores, Isabel reconnects with Gabe Marshall, a man she once thought of as only a friend. Gabe has quietly loved Isabel for years, but life and her departure kept them apart. Now, their undeniable connection begins to grow, yet the past rears its head when Dylan, Isabel's high school love, unexpectedly returns. Caught between two men, Isabel must reconcile her feelings for both, while also uncovering a hidden story buried within her mother's art-a story that will lead her to the island's iconic lighthouse and the secrets of the heart it holds.
As Isabel delves deeper into her family's history, she finds parallels to her own unresolved emotions. Her mother's journals reveal a tale of forbidden love and sacrifice that echo Isabel's own journey toward self-discovery. Torn between the familiar pull of her past with Dylan and the strong, steady presence of Gabe, Isabel must face the truths she's long ignored.
Tides of the Heart is a moving romance novel filled with emotional depth, as Isabel wrestles with the decisions that will shape her future. Can she find the courage to stay on the island and open her heart to love once more, or will the tides of her past sweep her away before she has the chance to begin anew?
This heartwarming and deeply touching novel explores themes of healing, second chances, and the power of home. Perfect for fans of emotional, slow-burn romances with richly developed characters, Tides of the Heart will stay with readers long after the final page is turned.
