Tides of Trust (Coastal Dreams #4)

A man who’s lost himself in work. A woman learning how to heal. A love that asks them both to trust again.

Kylie Mayfield was once the golden girl of Driftwood Bay—the first in her family to go to college and the first to believe she’d escaped small-town limits. Now she’s also the first to divorce.

After her husband abandons her following the birth of their special needs daughter, Kylie is pushed to her breaking point by devastating loss. Returning home is not a failure—it’s survival.

Working for her family’s charter business offers comfort, stability, and a chance to begin again.

Zane Wagner has sworn off love.

Scarred by a brief, painful marriage and consumed by his career, he returns to Driftwood Bay to oversee the grand opening of Tidewater, the newest Wagner Enterprises resort.

Summers spent here as a child once brought him joy—but adulthood has taught him to keep his heart firmly guarded.

When Zane and Kylie cross paths, their attraction is immediate. A business arrangement to transport Tidewater guests soon turns into something more complicated.

Zane proposes a temporary, no-strings affair during his time in Texas—and to her own surprise, Kylie agrees.

What begins as uncomplicated passion slowly becomes something deeper, as Zane chips away at Kylie’s carefully built defenses and helps her rediscover confidence, laughter, and hope.
