Some families bury their secrets. Zora Baptiste's keep washing ashore.
When Zora returns to Sainte Calista for her grandmother's funeral, she expects to settle the estate, survive the family tension, and return to Miami as quickly as possible. Instead, she inherits Sea Grape House-with one condition: she must live there for six months or lose it to the uncle she has never trusted.
Then Zora finds a letter that changes everything. Her mother may not have abandoned her. Her father-the man she was told was dead-may still be alive. And a decades-old deed could stop the luxury resort threatening to erase the bay, its reef, and the community that has depended on it for generations.
With the island watching, old betrayals surfacing, and Micah Laurent-the marine conservationist she never quite got over-at her side, Zora follows a trail of letters through storm-tossed coves, family secrets, and a past no one wanted her to uncover.
But every answer demands something from her: protect the home she thought she had outgrown, confront the people who failed her, and decide whether love can survive the truth.
Letters to the Sea is an emotional Caribbean-set novel about family secrets, second chances, community resistance, and the courage to come home-not to the past, but to the life you choose.
Perfect for readers who love atmospheric women's fiction, slow-burn romance, family sagas, and mysteries with heart.
