Tidal Creek Hearts Series

Faith, healing, and love along the Sea Islands—Tidal Creek Hearts follows Summer Raines as she rebuilds her life, her calling, and her heart.

Contemporary Christian romance stories inspired by Carolina's serene shores.

Back to Oyster Point

Just as Summer begins to imagine a future shaped by faith and honesty, a love from her past returns. Confronted with who she once was and who she has become, Summer must discern which life reflects the woman she is now—and which belongs to a chapter already closed.

Book 2

Shattered by a broken engagement, wrongly accused of embezzlement, and spiritually adrift, Summer Raines retreats to the Sea Islands of her youth. In the quiet rhythms of Oyster Point, she begins to rebuild her faith and rediscover who she is apart from achievement and appearance. A new role fundraising for a free medical clinic—and a thoughtful colleague she insists on seeing only as a professional—hint at possibilities she isn’t ready to name. Healing comes first. Love can wait.

Book 3

With her faith restored and her professional footing steadier, Summer Raines finds her guarded friendship with Dr. Caleb Gervais deepening into something unexpected. As old fears resurface, both must decide whether God’s grace truly allows for second chances—not just in love, but in calling.

NEW!
