"Under the Boardwalk Sky.": Love in the Margins of Time. (Series 2, Book8)

By Wayne J. Gombar

My Heart Lies on the Boardwalk (1973-1976)
In the seaside town of Seabright, New Jersey, where salt clings to the air and memories wash ashore with every tide, two lost souls collide on a rain-slicked boardwalk. Lucia Ferraro, a tarot reader fleeing heartbreak and the weight of her past, meets Ray Delaney, a guarded baker with flour on his hands and grief behind his eyes. Neither is looking for love, but fate has a way of rewriting what we think we know.
As seasons pass and the boardwalk creaks beneath their hesitant steps, Lucia and Ray begin to rebuild not just a caf , but themselves. From the warmth of shared tea to the ache of buried secrets, they discover that healing isn't about forgetting the past, it's about making peace with it.
Set against the backdrop of 1970s coastal Americana, My Heart Lies on the Boardwalk is a tender and soulful romance about second chances, seaside rituals, and the kind of love that grows slowly, like sea glass smoothed by time. For anyone who's ever stood on the edge of something broken and dared to believe in something whole again.
Because sometimes, the tide brings you home.
