The summer before law school, Emily arrives on a small South Carolina barrier island looking for distance, quiet, and a reset. What she finds instead is Asher Bell. A man who is charming, magnetic, and impossible to ignore.
Their connection is immediate and intense. The kind that feels both inevitable and ill-advised.
Asher has been in a long-term relationship for nearly a decade. Emily knows better than to want what isn't hers. But Haven Island has a way of blurring lines-between right and wrong, past and future, staying and leaving.
As the summer stretches on, emotions deepen, secrets surface, and choices begin to carry consequences that can't be undone. Loving Asher means risking heartbreak. Walking away may mean wondering 'what if' for the rest of her life.
Set against sun-bleached beaches, late-night bars, and the quiet pull of the tide, Between the Moon and the Tide is a deeply emotional story about first love, longing, complicated relationships, and the moments that change us forever.
