What the Tide Kept
A Spicy Small Town Romance · Harper Vale
Tessa’s cousin the boatwright and the chef who wants a floating supper club have one hull, one deadline, and one bed on the test cruise.
Rowan Quinn is thirty-two, they/them, a boatwright who does not take meetings that sound like a brochure. Marisol Adeyemi has run pop-ups for six years and wants a hull that can plate twelve without becoming a yacht.
They shake on a partnership that is not a thank-you. They paint a cabin and ruin the drop cloths. They take the Marrow into a legal ugly swell and sleep in the one bunk because they want to, not because the sole is noble. When Pell & Associates tries to reallocate the slip for a photo boat, they bring a menu and a hull diagram and they do not let the marina kill it.
Spicy small-town romance. Nonbinary lead. Forced proximity. Found family at the Split Hull. HEA. Book 5 in the Wrecker's Bay series.
