Riptide - Paperback

by Anna Burke (Author)

Award-winning author Anna Burke returns to Seal Cove in this highly anticipated fourth romance, perfect for fans of small-town settings, friends-to-lovers stories, and healing from heartbreak themes.

Kate isn't seeking love. After a broken engagement, all she wants is to prove she can show up, smile, and maybe remember what it's like to flirt again. Jen swore she'd never attend Seal Cove's speed dating night--until her best friend begged her to come along. She's only there to fill a seat, not to risk her carefully guarded heart.

But the sea air has its own pull, and the small town has a way of turning strangers into something more. One evening. Seven minutes. A spark neither of them planned.

Sometimes love doesn't come with a grand gesture. Sometimes it waits across a wobbly café table, asking the simplest question of all: What if this time is different?
