She commands the currents. He’s haunted by the undertow. Can a storm-tossed love find safe harbor on the shores of Cape May?

Grace Holloway owns her stretch of Cape May beach. Five summers commanding Lifeguard Stand 7 have rebuilt her life after a shattered swimming dream, replacing chlorine ghosts with the predictable rhythm of the tides. Control is her mantra, the shore her sanctuary. Until he washes in with the storm surge.

Finn O’Connell is a force of nature—a skilled, enigmatic diver who emerges from the churning inlet during a dangerous rescue, trailing shadows of a past steeped in saltwater and loss. He seeks solitude, expects transience, and carries guilt heavy enough to sink a ship. He’s everything Grace’s carefully ordered world isn't prepared for: unpredictable, guarded, and devastatingly compelling.

Forced together by circumstance—a dramatic rescue, a shared vigil during a hurricane, an unexpected injury that grounds him—an undeniable current pulls them closer. Beneath the surface of Finn's stoicism lies a deep well of pain; beneath Grace's control is a yearning for connection she thought she’d locked away. As they tentatively explore the wreckage of the past, both literal and metaphorical, they discover a fragile hope.

But Finn is haunted by ghosts that demand he keep moving, believing stability is a betrayal and anchors only lead to drowning. Can Grace convince him that staying isn't settling, and that vulnerability is the ultimate act of courage? Or will the storm within him prove too strong, forcing a clean break and leaving her stranded once more?

Dive into Anchor in the Storm, an atmospheric Cape May beach story brimming with emotional depth, second chances, and the powerful struggle to find solid ground when surrounded by turbulent waters. Perfect for readers who love small-town coastal romance, wounded heroes, and heroines rediscovering their strength.
