To share art is to give it life.

Living in Florida was never in the plan for Nathan. But after a road trip to down the East Coast with his best friends, Nathan finds himself sticking around a little longer to see what kind of trouble can be made in the sleepy, small town.

Nathan scours galleries, hoping to find a place in the area where his graffiti art might be appreciated. It’s there that he learns about a competition that can help him with his quickly dwindling cash supply—the Rose Tide Awards. That’s exactly what Sophia is looking into when the two crash into each other at the local art gallery.

It’s love at first sight. Sophia’s just his type—artistic, mysterious, and rough around the edges—and Nathan’s willing to get his hands dirty to have her.

All’s fair in love and war, but Nathan didn’t account for a few things: getting tangled up in a roommate situation with Sophia, Sophia’s toxic on-and-off-again boyfriend, his own run-in with the law, and a positive pregnancy test.

Nathan and Sophia will have to heal their past trauma—whether it be generational or self-inflicted—if they want to see a future together. And it might just be their own art that paves the way forward.

Rose Tide & Rust the second installment of the Tides of Amelia Island series. It is the sequel to The Storm & the Sea, but it can be read as a standalone novel.
