In the quiet coastal town of Carron Bay, Aria Delaney lives a life of routine—managing her late grandmother’s bookshop and walking the same windswept shores every morning. But when a mysterious, shipwrecked stranger washes up holding nothing but an antique compass and a cryptic message, Aria’s world is pulled into uncharted waters. Jace Thorne is a man with a past cloaked in shadows and a mission he doesn’t fully understand. All he knows is that Carron Bay holds the key to a legacy lost to time—and Aria is the only one who can help him uncover it. Drawn together by fate and chased by dangers neither of them can yet name, Aria and Jace must follow clues hidden in dusty journals, forgotten maps, and whispers of a long-buried truth. But as secrets rise with the tide, so do their feelings for each other—and one question threatens to burn through everything they’ve built: How far will you go to find the truth—when love is the risk you never saw coming?
