Leo

By Rose D. Bentley

In a town where the sea gives and takes everything, two strangers are about to find out what the tide can really bring to shore.

Layla Dumont came to Morro Bay for a fresh start, trading the chaos of Los Angeles for small-town life, and she's embracing everything that comes with it, including the gorgeous local brooding fisherman.

Leo Anderson has no interest in newcomers. The ocean is his life, his escape, and after losing his father and almost his best friend, it is the only thing he trusts. But the new girl might just be the one to tear down the walls he has so carefully built.

As Layla settles into small-town life, she is drawn into Leo's world of foggy mornings, sandy beaches, and a tight circle of friends who protect their own. But Morro Bay has its shadows, and when trouble resurfaces from Leo's past, everything shifts, threatening the one thing neither of them saw coming... each other.

A slow-burn romance about found family, small-town vibes, and what happens when sunshine meets the storm.
