Between the Waves

What if surviving a devastating loss wasn’t enough, and the real courage was learning how to live again?

Two years ago, Margo Collins lost everything in a single, sweeping moment when life as she knew it was ripped from her blood-stained hands. She has learned to survive, but not to live. When a reluctant weeklong bachelorette trip to Charleston throws her back into the world she has been avoiding, she meets Anderson Rhodes-a man she can’t outrun.

When Anderson Rhodes shows up, their connection is immediate, disarming, and impossible to ignore. He makes her wonder if, maybe, she’s still capable of feeling something real again. But the past doesn’t loosen its grip easily. Every step forward forces Margo to confront the choice she has been avoiding: to keep surviving in the shadow of the past, or to choose life fully, messily, and bravely between the waves.

Between the Waves is a novel that blends the intimacy of romance with the introspective nuance of grief and identity. Margo’s journey is not defined by loss, but by what comes after. It highlights the quiet, messy reclamation of hope. It is a love story in every sense: romantic, yes, but also a story of friendship, of reconciling past and present selves, and of daring to become the person we are brave enough to be.

For readers who loved The Last Letter, Every Summer After, and Love and Other Words, this emotionally rich debut invites you to fall not just for two people-but for a love story woven between friends, between past and present selves, and between who we once were and who we’re brave enough to become.

Will she stay trapped in the tide of grief, or risk everything to embrace the life waiting between the waves?
