On her wedding day, Claire Morgan stared at the life of perfection waiting for her and realized her soul was hollow. Her wealthy fiancé, Ryan, offered security, but her heart whispered the frightening truth: This isn't love. This isn't peace. In a desperate, final act of surrender, Claire runs-barefoot, veil flying-driving until the city, her past, and the faith she abandoned fade into the distance.
Her journey ends when her car breaks down in Haven's Bay, a quiet coastal town that feels both untouched by time and strangely prophetic. Taking refuge in a small seaside cottage, Claire is haunted by the guilt of her flight and the loss of the faith she desperately needs. Her solitude is broken by Elias Ward, a kind but guarded widowed sailor. Elias, who battles his own guilt over a tragic loss at sea, offers a startling truth: "Sometimes, God brings the lost to the edge of the sea so He can teach them how to breathe again."Through a sudden coastal storm and the discovery of a haunting letter in a bottle, Claire realizes she hasn't run away from her life; she's been carried toward God's purpose.
But when Ryan returns, begging for her to come home, Claire faces her ultimate choice: return to the comfort of a known life built on fear, or stay in the terrifying unknown where Love Himself is waiting. This is an inspirational story about divine pursuit, forgiveness, and the beautiful discovery that true love begins only after we let go of control.
