Autumn Tides

It's Winter Prelude in Lobster Bay—the calm before the holiday storm where the streets sparkle and businesses hustle with pre-holiday sales. This year, however, brings more than twinkling lights and festive displays. Jane's inn hosts four old friends who share a history with Lobster Bay. Among them, one is holding onto an unfulfilled Christmas wish. Is this the year it finally comes true? Claire's dog biscuit business, Beach Bones, hits a snag when her ex-husband's new wife launches a rival brand with the same name. Can the two women come together and work things out? What happens next changes everything. Meanwhile, Maxi needs to lock in artists for a Winter Prelude showcase, at the art gallery. Too bad she isn’t having much success. She looks far and wide for artists that fit the criteria, but the perfect fit might be closer than she thinks. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Lobster Bay—from the quaint Inn at Tides to bustling, holiday-bedecked streets—this compelling story unwraps the true gifts of the community, unexpected friendships, and the enchantment of holiday magic.
