The Cartographer of Stars and Seafoam

Linnea Albright has come home to Oakhaven’s salt-stained streets and her family’s old library, hoping to mend the regrets she’s carried since she last left. When she discovers that Tobin Vance—her first love and once-promising cartographer—has quietly returned to town, old sparks flare even as unspoken fears and the memory of a lost letter stand between them.

Tasked with mapping the rugged coastline for the first time in years, Tobin must reconcile his passion for exploration with the ache of missed chances. As Linnea helps him piece together fragments of seafaring lore in the stacks, they fall into a gentle rhythm of late-night conversations, dusty maps, and hesitant smiles—until the revelation that a second page of Tobin’s farewell letter never arrived shatters their fragile trust.

Haunted by what might have been, they set out across ice-tipped cliffs and storm-tossed waters in search of answers. Only by confronting their shared history—and the painful misunderstandings it spawned—can Linnea and Tobin learn to write a new chapter together.

In the novel’s hopeful epilogue, spring’s thaw brings warmth back to Harbour Street and to their hearts, as two lovers discover that sometimes the greatest maps are the ones we draw for each other.
