Emerald Bay

At the edge of Emerald Bay, where the sunlight glimmers on the water and whispers of the past drift through the trees, Emily Carter returns to a place she thought she had left behind forever. Years ago, the lake was her sanctuary, filled with laughter, first love, and dreams that faded when she walked away from Willow Creek. Now, with her aunt Maggie in need of care, Emily is drawn back to the wooden cabin that shaped her youth. The familiar scent of pine and the soft rhythm of the waves awaken memories she has tried to bury. But when she encounters Ethan Walker—the boy she once loved, now a man with secrets of his own—the summer she expected to spend in quiet reflection turns into something far more complicated. As the days grow warmer and the nights shimmer with starlight, Emily must face the echoes of her past and the fragile hope of a second chance. Between the pull of nostalgia and the promise of a love that refuses to fade, she must decide whether to protect her heart or risk it all once again. Emerald Bay is a heartfelt contemporary romance about memory, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to open the door to love after years of silence.
