Tugboats, Tempers & Turning Tides: A Delaney Novel

By Greer Delaney

A tugboat captain with no patience for paperwork.
A port-safety inspector with a clipboard and a long memory.
A harbor town that has already started taking bets.

Wendy Doyle knows Delaney Harbor by tide, instinct, and engine noise. She trusts her crew, her boat, and the old ways that have kept people working the water for generations.

Sara Reyes trusts procedures, training, and making sure dangerous work does not rely on luck. She also happens to be the woman Wendy once trusted more than anyone-before an accident, a hearing, and fifteen years of silence turned trust into resentment.

When new harbor safety rules force Wendy and Sara into the same meetings, the same storms, and eventually the same tugboat, old anger starts cracking under the pressure of unfinished truth. The more they clash, the more obvious it becomes that their chemistry never fully disappeared.

But dangerous work leaves no room for grudges, and when Delaney Harbor faces real trouble on the water, Wendy and Sara will have to decide whether the past is something to survive-or something worth rebuilding.

Tugboats, Tempers & Turning Tides is a warm, witty small-town sapphic romance about second chances, stubborn hearts, working harbor chaos, and learning that trust is not certainty-it is choosing to stay.
