Book 3 in the Sandy Bay Series

When a yacht’s electronics fail, corporate escapee Harley Mendelson is forced to dock in the close-knit fishing town of Sandy Bay. His gleaming vessel, Ocean Dream, carries not just his lifelong sailing ambitions, but the weight of a past he’s desperate to outrun.

Local fisherman’s daughter Lily Jardine has salt water in her veins and cynicism in her heart. To her, Harley is just another city slicker playing sailor—more suited to a kiddie pool than the open seas. But as engine repairs stretch from days into weeks, she discovers depths in the quiet stranger that make her question her hasty judgment.

As Sandy Bay’s rustic charm begins to crack Harley’s carefully constructed walls, an unexpected connection sparks between two souls from different shores. Yet Harley knows his demons make him unworthy of the fiery, free-spirited Lily. And she knows that dreamers who chase the horizon eventually sail away.

But sometimes, the heart drops anchor when you least expect it—and the biggest adventures begin when you stop running from your past and finally find your way home.

A tale of second chances, sea-swept romance, and discovering that love might just be the best navigation system of all.
