Desperate to escape his pain, Liam Fraser returns to his home province of Nova Scotia—but not to the place he once called home. Instead, he finds himself in Torrin Cove, a tiny, remote fishing village that seems like the perfect place to hide from the painful memories he can’t outrun.
In this quiet town, he meets Theo MacKinnon, a lobster fisherman who has spent his entire life following a path that has been laid out for him. On the surface, Theo’s life may seem steady and certain, but beneath it all he feels trapped, hiding a part of himself he’s never fully understood.
Together, they find the quiet comfort they’ve been seeking. As they lean on each other to navigate the stormy waters of grief, guilt, and pain, they begin to heal. Their connection grows as steady as the rising tide, and in the stillness of their shared moments, they discover the strength and courage to face the truths they’ve been avoiding and embrace the lives they’ve been too afraid to claim.
Amidst their storms, they become each other’s safe harbours.
And learn that the path to healing doesn’t need to be walked alone.
Tide Over is a standalone MM romance with an HEA, and deals with themes of grief and loss.
