In the idyllic coastal town of Blessings Bay, Sage Harper is ready to turn her dream of opening a bookstore into reality. Her target? A charming, vintage sailboat named the *Marvelous Mira*. However, she faces a major obstacle: Flynn Cahill, her first love and the man who shattered her heart a decade ago. When the boat’s eccentric owner proposes a high-stakes competition, Sage and Flynn are forced into a state of uneasy, close-quarters proximity. To win the boat, they must spend three days together at sea searching for a hidden diary, a task that dredges up long-buried secrets and smoldering, unresolved feelings. While Sage sees the prize as a path to a new life, Flynn is driven by a solemn promise to his late twin brother. As the *Marvelous Mira* sails through the tides of their shared history, the "enemies-to-lovers" tension between them begins to shift. Meanwhile, back on land, innkeeper Abigail Preston finds her own life upended by the arrival of a mysterious stranger carrying a life-altering secret. Featuring heartwarming themes of found family and second chances, this clean, emotional romance explores whether two people can learn to forgive the past in order to write a beautiful new chapter together.
