Waiting on the Tides

A Grumpy Cop, a Sunshine Teacher, and One Unexpected Match

Abby Solomon is tired of being seen as the baby of the bunch. Landing her first teaching job should be her chance to shine-except the school is in her hometown, and her biggest critic is the brooding single dad who thinks she's still the immature kid tagging along behind her big brother.

Christian Johnson has enough on his plate. Between his demanding job as a cop, raising his daughter solo, and chasing down a runaway teen, the last thing he needs is bubbly, too-bright Abby stepping into his world and stirring up emotions he swore off for good. She reminds him way too much of his ex... and that's not a compliment.

But when Christian finds himself overwhelmed and out of options, he reluctantly turns to Abby for help-and ends up seeing a side of her that flips everything he thought he knew. Just as he starts to let his guard down, one misstep sends it all crashing down.

Abby's just trying to prove she's enough. Christian's doing everything he can to keep his heart off-limits. But sometimes it takes a runaway teen-and a whole lot of grace-to show two broken people that love doesn't keep score... and second chances are real.

Waiting on the Tides is a flirty, heartwarming small-town romance full of witty banter, emotional depth, and a faith-filled reminder that we're all more than the sum of our mistakes.
