Overview

When ambitious chef Pepper Zhao demands to know exactly where her seafood comes from, fourth-generation fisherwoman Marina Delgado reluctantly agrees to take her out on the water at 4 AM. What starts as a clash between city polish and weathered independence becomes something neither woman can walk away from.

As Marina's family fishing business teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, she faces an impossible choice: sell to a commercial fleet and lose everything that matters, or accept help from the woman she's falling for and risk her carefully guarded heart. Between sunrise catches and late-night confessions, these two strong-willed women discover that the best things in life—like love—require letting someone in.

A complete standalone romance set in the queer-friendly coastal town of Saltwater Cove, where the tide always brings love ashore.
