Artist Maya Thompson flees a life of betrayal and debt, seeking sanctuary in the picturesque coastal town of Seabreeze Cove. But her new home, a dilapidated cottage, mirrors her own broken spirit, and her first encounter with gruff marina owner Mac O’Connell makes her feel more unwelcome than ever. He’s all suspicion and sharp edges, a man fiercely protective of his small, insular world. Yet, Seabreeze Cove holds more than just a prickly welcome. Whispers of a slick developer, James Tucker, threaten to unravel the town’s quiet charm and a sacred trust passed down through generations. Mac stands as its immovable guardian, fighting to protect a legacy he carries with the weight of the sea itself. As Maya begins to mend her cottage and find solace in her work, she uncovers a tarnished silver locket—a beautiful object hinting at a history she doesn't understand, and a secret the town guards with its very soul. Drawn into the fight for Seabreeze Cove's future, Maya finds herself battling not just her past, but for a community she’s slowly, reluctantly, falling for. And against all odds, she’s drawn to Mac, the man who challenges her at every turn. Their clash of wills sparks an undeniable connection, but can a woman who's lost everything trust a man who trusts no one? As the tide turns, they must forge an unlikely alliance to protect Seabreeze Cove’s deepest wonder. But will their fragile hope survive the rising storm, or will their love be washed away forever
