About this book:

Escape to the rugged shores of Oakhaven, where the salt‑kissed air carries the promise of second chances. After years of chasing high‑gloss perfection behind a camera lens, world‑weary photographer Clara returns to her childhood cottage, only to find that the ocean’s relentless tide has a way of exposing the cracks we try to hide.

In the quiet lanes of this timeless Maine town, a reclusive boat‑builder named Jonah watches the horizon from Hag’s Reach, his steady hands and weathered soul offering a stark contrast to Clara’s frantic city life. As she rediscovers her father’s old maps, a cracked Pentax, and the raw beauty of abandoned canneries, Clara learns that true focus isn’t about shutter speeds—it’s about letting the light in, imperfections and all.

Heartbeats Across the Ocean is a sweeping, tender romance that blends the ache of burnout with the hope of renewal, inviting readers to feel the spray of the Atlantic, hear the creak of lobster‑shacks, and fall in love with a love story as deep and enduring as the sea itself. Let the tide pull you in—your next favorite escape awaits.
