Captain Mara Doyle keeps Delaney moving.
As ferry captain, Mara trusts tide charts, engine timing, and keeping her route running no matter what the weather-or the town-throws at her. The last thing she needs is Dr. Nina Vale, a marine biologist with research restrictions, shoreline warnings, and a talent for disrupting ferry schedules.
Nina isn't trying to make enemies. She's trying to protect Delaney Bay before its fragile ecosystem suffers damage the town can't reverse. But convincing ferry crews, business owners, and one very stubborn captain that eelgrass matters proves harder than any storm forecast.
At first, Mara and Nina clash over routes, research buoys, public meetings, and what the harbor really needs to survive. But as dangerous weather exposes how deeply connected the ferries, shoreline, and town truly are, reluctant respect turns into trust-and trust becomes something neither woman expected.
Because some crossings change more than the route.
Some lead home.
