Cottage By The Tide

The Cottage by the TideMaya Hart came to the coast for one reason — to breathe again. A quiet summer, a rented cottage, and the hope that the ocean might wash away everything she's been carrying. What she didn't expect was Jake Lawson. A double‑booking mistake forces Maya to share the seaside cottage with Jake, a gentle, quietly charming surf instructor who seems determined to keep his past locked away. Their uneasy truce quickly softens into shared mornings, porch conversations, and a slow‑burn pull neither of them can ignore. But when Maya discovers Jake is the estranged heir to a powerful beachfront family, their fragile peace is threatened. His family wants him back. They don't want her involved. And the cottage that brought them together may be the place where they have to decide what — and who — they're willing to fight for. The Cottage by the Tide is a tender, cozy‑spice beach romance about healing, belonging, and the unexpected love that finds you when the tide finally turns. Perfect for readers who love small‑town charm, seaside sunsets, and emotional slow burns.
