Tattered Tides - (Celestia Cove) by Sarah A Bailey (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Set in the sun-soaked world of California surf culture, Tattered Tides is an emotional, slow-burn romance about second chances, self-forgiveness, and the healing power of love.

Weston Ashford was determined to have it all. After a tumultuous upbringing, he'd found a family of his own, a safe place to call home, and his calling: surfing. As a World Junior Champion, his future was finally bright, until his past came for him, and one mistake had him sinking straight toward rock bottom.

Years later, he's fresh-out-the-slammer and stripped of his medal, his future uncertain. When one last chance to follow his dream of becoming a professional surfer presents itself, he takes it with both hands--no distractions, no weakness. That is, until he crosses paths with his coach's daughter. Weston quickly realizes that, while she's the only person capable of shaking his focus, she may be the only one capable of healing his heart too.

Willow Graham isn't supposed to be here. She had plans, and they didn't include an abrupt move back to her hometown of Pacific Shores, or dropping out of the University she worked so hard to attend. Her entire life unraveled after a traumatic experience she's still struggling to come to terms with, and her only priority is getting back on track.

Both hellbent on rebuilding their futures and rediscovering who they are, Willow and Weston initially find themselves at odds when their shared spaces cause a tension neither of them are prepared for, but as their forced proximity gives way to mutual understanding, they discover a connection deeper than they ever thought possible.

Will their unexpected bond prove strong enough to overcome the tides between them, or will they end in tatters?

Review Quotes

"Lush, sensual, and entirely fresh, Sarah A. Bailey's writing is certain to be a new favorite!"--Tarah DeWitt, USA Today Bestselling Author

About the Author

Sarah fell in love with reading as a child. She quickly learned that books can take her to all the places she always dreamed of going, and allow her to live endless lifetimes in the one that she was given.

Sarah believes that a good romance novel can make even the darkest days a little bit brighter, and in the kind of love stories that make even the skeptics believe in all that cheesy stuff like soulmates. She hopes to produce stories that readers can pick up, and regardless of what's weighing them down in life, feel a little lighter when they finish.

Sarah was born in California and raised in Southern Oregon, and still considers herself a Pacific Northwest gal at heart; right down to being a coffee snob, adamantly believing in Sasquatch, and feeling like rain drenched forests are a form of therapy.

Sarah now resides in Arizona with her husband, Mike, and their dog-baby, Rue. When she's not writing, she's likely reading, and if she's not reading, odds are she's out searching for a decent cup of coffee, or a rainy pine forest.
