Tides Between Us: When trust ebbs, love must flow stronger

By Lucas Hartwell

Tides Between Us

A Safe Harbor Hearts Novel - Book Two

Sometimes the hardest storms aren't the ones outside - they're the ones between two hearts.

Mara thought she'd found steady ground in Safe Harbor.
Eli's hands - steady, strong, and healing - had helped her believe in trust again. But when a new massage studio opens just two doors down, bringing small-town gossip and a wave of competition, the ripples reach deeper than either of them expect.

As Eli fights to protect his livelihood, old insecurities rise to the surface. And for Mara, the return of distance and guarded silences feels too familiar - like the first tug of a tide pulling her away.

In a town where everyone knows your business, navigating desire, trust, and vulnerability isn't easy. But Safe Harbor has a way of teaching you: the calm after the storm only comes if you're willing to ride out the waves together.

Perfect for readers who love:

Small-town romance with coastal charm

Slow-burn passion with emotional depth

Light BDSM woven with tenderness and mutual care

Second-chance themes and healing love stories

Characters who fight for both trust and desire

Tides Between Us is the second standalone romance in the Safe Harbor Hearts series. Each book delivers heart-tugging emotion, heat you can feel, and the deep satisfaction of a love that feels safe enough to surrender to.

Welcome back to Safe Harbor - where love is the anchor, and trust is the tide.
