For the last two years, Margo Collins has been playing it safe. After a loss that redefined her world, she traded her ambitions for a life of quiet routines and low stakes. She’s not "thriving," but she’s surviving, and in her book, that’s a win. To Margo, joy and hope aren't goals anymore, they're risks she isn’t willing to take.
Her carefully constructed peace is interrupted when she is guilt-tripped into a bachelorette weekend in Charleston. It’s a time of high-energy, socializing, and forced vulnerability—everything Margo has spent twenty-four months avoiding.
Then she meets Anderson Rhodes. He’s easygoing, perceptive, and has a way of talking to Margo that bypasses her usual defenses. Their connection is sudden and unscripted, catching her in a way she didn’t see coming. But Margo’s past is a heavy anchor, and leaning into something new feels like a betrayal of the person she used to be.
As the weekend forces her out of her shell, Margo has to decide if she’s ready to do more than just endure the tide. She’s spent so long waiting for the water to settle, but now she’s discovering that life isn't about the calm after the storm—it’s about learning to exist between the waves, finding her footing in the ebb and flow of a world that is as messy as it is beautiful.
