Coming home was never meant to be forever.
Hazel McCleod had a plan. Escape her sleepy hometown, build a career in the city, and never return to Bells Bay.
Her plan didn’t include losing her job, her boyfriend, and her apartment in the same week.
With nowhere else to go, Hazel’s back in her tiny hometown, licking her wounds in her childhood bedroom. Except the town she left behind isn’t quite the same as the one she remembers.
She’s also trying very hard not to think about the handsome handyman currently renovating her mother’s rambling old farmhouse. Hazel has zero interest in falling for a charming small town guy. She’s got a life to rebuild from scratch and absolutely no time for Sam Parker’s golden retriever energy.
But the town has other plans. Between her loving but overly enthusiastic mother, best friends who are more like sisters, and the handyman she can’t seem to keep away from, Hazel starts to wonder if the worst week of her life may be the best thing that ever happened to her.
The Tides Turn at Midnight is a warm, feel-good contemporary romance about coming home, starting over, and learning that the best plans are the ones you never see coming.
Perfect for fans of small town romance, forced proximity, golden retriever male main character, and found family.
