When a viral scandal blows up her curated world, influencer Emma Clark does the one thing nobody expects—she vanishes from the internet.  With her reputation in flames and nowhere to land, she ends up in Sandy Shores, a quiet coastal town where the waves don’t care about followers and nobody knows her name.

There she meets Noah Tyler, a man rooted in history and carrying the weight of a legacy built long before he was born.  His family’s bookstore—Tyler & Sons, founded in 1867 during Reconstruction—is the heart of the town, a symbol of resilience and community.  But when Noah discovers his father’s hidden land deals, everything he knows is suddenly at risk.

Their connection is immediate.  Not sparks—recognition.  As Noah shows Emma a life beyond the feed, she rediscovers her own voice, her own worth, and the kind of love that brings you back to yourself.

But the threat grows when powerful developer Grayson Voss sets his sights on Sandy Shores.  Together, Emma and Noah must fight for the bookstore, the town’s history, and the future they’re just beginning to imagine.
