Sofia Reyes, a fierce marine biologist haunted by heartbreak, returns home to wage war against a development threatening her beloved coastal haven. But when she locks eyes with Riley Thompson—the bold, city-slick architect behind the eco-luxury plans—sparks fly in ways neither expected. What begins as fiery clashes over progress and preservation ignites into stolen glances, moonlit confessions, and a forbidden attraction that could shatter their worlds.

As Sofia confronts her fears of vulnerability after a late-bloomer awakening to her true self, and Riley battles the loneliness hidden behind her ambitious facade, their hearts entwine like the bay's tangled roots. But with ruthless developers closing in and personal demons resurfacing, can their love bridge the divide—or will the tides pull them under?
