The Tenth Wave: A Short Historical Romance of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane by Gordon J. MacKenzie

Galveston, September 1900. The Gulf forgets its manners. Mae, a librarian who keeps lists and heads counted, and Joel, a power-house linesman who brings the lights back, rope strangers into safety at the Tremont and shepherd families upstairs as the waves take the streets. Inspired by the real Great Storm of 1900—rapid surge, downtown refuge, and a city rebuilt behind a seawall—this one-sitting love story lands on earned hope and the stubborn work of staying.

Includes a Historical Note and an Author’s Note. Reading time: ~25–30 minutes. Clean/slow-burn; rich period detail.
