Lainey Parker only brought three things with her to Emerald Isle, North Carolina the night she escaped her abusive father. Her mother. Her love for the piano. And her faith.

After being free from her father's control for nearly a year, Lainey begins to settle into a life she never thought was possible by finishing high school, having a boyfriend, and waking up to the crashing waves every morning.

Unsure of what step to take next, Lainey reluctantly takes a summer job at a local seafood shop working for Graham Fisher, her boyfriend Lucas's father, not at all prepared for their immediate connection when her relationship with Lucas turns toxic while she battles the past, praying it stays behind her and never catches up.
