High Tide. A Novel (en Inglés) - Felix K.

Ten years ago, Mara Chen ran from Tidewater Cove-and from Evan Sullivan, the boy who loved her. She built a brilliant architecture career in Seattle, but success came at a price: a life of seventy-hour weeks and carefully maintained loneliness.

When her grandmother dies and leaves Mara a crumbling Victorian inn on the Oregon coast, she returns home with one goal: restore the house, sell it, and get back to her real life in Seattle. She has sixty days before the bank forecloses.

There's just one problem: the only contractor available is Evan Sullivan.

Now a successful builder with his own scars from their past, Evan agrees to save the inn-but only on his terms. Strictly business. No personal conversations. And absolutely no repeating the mistakes of ten years ago.

But as they work together to bring the Seabreeze Inn back to life, Mara discovers that some foundations are worth rebuilding. That home isn't a place-it's the people who love you. And that the biggest risk isn't staying... it's running away again.
