What the Tide Brought: A Thailand Romance, Book One of Andaman Hearts Series

Ploy has spent her whole life reading the tide. She knows exactly when the sea will pull back and leave its secrets on the sand, and exactly how long she has to gather them before the water changes its mind. What she does not know is what to do when a stranger stops at her stall, buys a bracelet of tiny white shells, and asks, in careful broken English, when he might see her again.Luca came to Thailand to train, not to fall in love. He has three weeks, a pair of wrapped hands, and a dream he has chased since he was a boy watching fighters on a small television in Turin. A shell seller barely out of her teens was never part of the plan.Then one morning, on a run along the shore, Luca hears a cry from inside the sea caves. What he finds there pulls him into Ploy's life whether either of them is ready or not, and turns a holiday into something neither of them can simply walk away from.Ploy's mother has already chosen who her daughter should marry, and it is not a tourist with a return flight booked. But some things, once they start, cannot be sent home early.What the Tide Brought is Book One of the Andaman Hearts series, a slow burn romance about two people who barely share a language but somehow understand each other anyway. This book ends on a cliffhanger. Book Two is coming.
