The Tide Between Us

Salt in the hull, rust on the rails, and a grudge older than the dock itself. Ethan Pratt scrubs barnacles off the Tideway , his grandfather's lobster boat , every morning before the other souls in Harrow's Cove are awake. Ten years he's kept the old fiberglass afloat, ten years since the accident that drove the Calder and Pratt families apart. The harbor is small, the grudges aren't, and everyone still remembers who's on which side of the breakwater. When Elara Finch comes back to Harrow's Cove after eight years in the city, she's not here for nostalgia. She's here with a commercial real estate proposal that would convert the old lobster docks into a mixed-use waterfront development , and the only catch is that half the dockfront is Pratt family land. Her uncle Rhys Calder wants the whole stretch. Ethan's been quietly trying to hold the Pratt side of the harbor together, and Elara's proposal is the knife that cuts the one thing keeping the families from swallowing each other whole. The problem is that Elara remembers Ethan. The problem is Ethan remembers Elara. The problem is that Della Harmon, Margot Aldridge, Jonas Pike, and Harlan Quist all have stakes in who gets the docks, and the tide is already starting to turn against the people who've kept their heads down for long enough. By the time the season's first catch comes in, the families have to pick a side , and the side they pick will decide whether Harrow's Cove still has a harbor or just a parking lot with a view. Either way, the salt's already in the air.
