About this ebook
When Mara Ellwood takes a temporary post teaching English to adults in the fishing town of Brackenmere, she expects quiet routines and no surprises. Instead, she is asked to help rework the emergency scripts for the harbor volunteer service before the winter storm season closes the ferry route for good. The only person willing to work through the drafts with her is Owen Sayer, a coastguard volunteer still carrying the guilt of the rescue that cost his brother his life. As the deadline for the annual safety drill draws near, their practical partnership turns into something harder to keep measured: shared meals after late revisions, awkward honesty on the pier, and the growing fear that wanting each other means risking the fragile lives they have rebuilt. Mara has spent years believing that being loved means eventually being left; Owen is terrified that trusting his judgment again will get someone hurt. When the ferry bell is set to ring for the final winter crossing, both must decide whether they will stay behind the roles that protected them or answer the promise of a future they can finally speak out loud.
