When the Tides Shift

A summer marketing gig on an oyster farm is the simple reset she needs. Well, it would be-if not for the gruff, golden-eyed farmer determined to wreck all her plans.

Eliza Attleburn has been striving for success since her parents taught her the meaning of the word. Hustling hard in corporate Boston, she was making steady progress-until a layoff, cheating boyfriend, and social implosion knocked her off-kilter in one fell swoop. Overwhelmed, she finds herself in Garnet Shores, Rhode Island, for a three-month social media position on an oyster farm. It isn't exactly ideal, but it's a chance to escape the storm and diversify her resume as she plans her return to corporate life. And no man is going to ruin that.

Grayson Gold's oyster farm isn't just some small-town spot. It's an award-winning name, his family legacy, and the salty blood in his veins. But none of it's guaranteed. So when a pretty, strong-willed city girl shows up for a job he never posted, looking like an echo of last year's near-catastrophic mistake, Grayson wants her gone. The problem? His brother hired her, and Eliza refuses to leave, clashing with him head-on instead.

But as summer heats up and Eliza and Grayson keep colliding, mutual loathing transforms into something else, and what began as Eliza's escape starts to feel more like a discovery.

Still, her future lives in Boston.

That's what all her plans said, anyway.
