Tidal Creek Hearts Series

Faith, healing, and love along the Sea Islands—Tidal Creek Hearts follows Summer Raines as she rebuilds her life, her calling, and her heart.

Contemporary Southern fiction inspired by Carolina's serene shores.

Back to Oyster Point

Shattered by a broken engagement, wrongly accused of embezzlement, and spiritually adrift, Summer Raines retreats to the Sea Islands of her youth. In the quiet rhythms of Oyster Point, she begins to rebuild her faith and rediscover who she is apart from achievement and appearance. A new role fundraising for a free medical clinic—and a thoughtful colleague she insists on seeing only as a professional—hint at possibilities she isn’t ready to name. Healing comes first. Love can wait.
