She came back for her father. She didn't plan on coming back for anything else. Aria Hartley left Palm Haven at twenty-two with a plan, a career, and no intention of looking back. Ten years later, she returns to a town she barely recognises — glass and neon where fibro and fishing boats used to be — and to a father whose health won't wait for a convenient time. She didn't plan on Sandbar. The rooftop bar that has put Palm Haven on every influencer's map, built by the one person she never quite managed to stop thinking about. She didn't plan on Kai Carter. He left once too. Without a word, without a reason, without giving her the chance to understand why. Now he's back — permanent, successful, standing behind a bar that glows gold against the headland — and the look he gives her across a crowded room makes it clear that five years and a lot of silence haven't changed a single thing. Aria is here for one week. To help, to fix, to leave clean. That's the plan. Some tides pull you under. Others pull you home. Palm Haven Hearts Series — Book One If you love small-town romance with heart, heat, and a coastline you can almost taste, Sandbar is the book you've been waiting for.
