Salty Pretzels at the Bayside Breeze

Pearl Howard has spent her whole life landlocked in Indiana watching mermaid and pirate movies and imagining the crash of waves instead of the rustle of cornfields. She finally takes the plunge and heads for coastal Georgia, certain she’s on the brink of the life she’s always wanted: sunny days, ocean breezes, and a fresh start.

After a charming sailboat captain leaves her high and dry at the local marina, Pearl vows never again to let romance steer her off course. She’ll make it on her own, even if it means scrubbing vacation rentals and hustling for every dollar until her mermaid dreams come true.

But as she finds her footing and makes new friends, Pearl’s wariness of counterfeit charisma keeps her from seeing the treasure that lies beneath the surface. When a hurricane blows into Bayside, will it ruin her chances at a new life and send her back to cow country? Or will Pearl learn to take the salty with the sweet?

A sweet, beachy novella about salt water, second chances, and following your dreams.
