Whispering Tides

Clara needs a fresh start. After a book that cost her her mother's trust and her own creative voice, she retreats to a whitewashed cottage on the cliffs of coastal Portugal with nothing but a blank page and the Atlantic for company.Then she meets Filipe.Reserved, gentle, still carrying the shape of his late wife everywhere he goes, he is not looking for anyone. Neither is Clara. But the cliffs are narrow, the evenings are long, and grief has a way of finding the people who understand it.What grows between them is slow and real and harder to name than anything Clara has ever tried to put into words. It is also built on something she has kept from him: Clara is a novelist, Filipe is the most compelling story she has ever found, and she has not been entirely honest about what she intends to do with him.Whispering Tides is a romance about two people finding each other at exactly the wrong moment, and what it takes to become worthy of a second chance. Tender, literary, and set against the stunning backdrop of the Portuguese coast.
