The Tide Always Comes Back

Sixteen-year-old Kailani Azunna is ready to forget.Forget her ex - the beloved, toxic son of the town's millionaire mayor.Forget the lies she told herself to stay in that relationship.Forget the version of herself that settled for less.But when the charming new boy, Hadrian Kimura, moves to their sleepy coastal town - eyes full of things he can't say - forgetting gets complicated.Their striking connection is impossible to ignore, but when a rift driven by old loyalties and long-buried secrets threatens to tear them apart, Kailani finds herself pulled into a past that doesn't belong to her - one that raises questions no one seems willing to answer.Set against crashing waves and whispered lies, The Tide Always Comes Back is about first loves, second chances, and the subtle unraveling of a perfect town.
