Hearts On the Line

There's no graceful way to fall apart, but June Bellamy made headlines when she hit rock bottom. A messy divorce from a tech billionaire, a chronic illness diagnosis, and a career that's quietly unraveled? Check, check, and yep, check some more. Returning to her hometown was supposed to be temporary. Just a quiet place to catch her breath. Definitely not a launchpad for a comeback. But as she drifts through familiar streets, Harbor Cove is buzzing with preparations for the annual regatta.
It's the same sailing race she won once, a lifetime ago-and the only thing that's ever made her feel untouchable. It shouldn't matter, but as the town leans into preparations for the event, something in her begins to lean with it. But it's not just the race that's stirring up feelings June had thought long buried. Her first love is still in town, and he's got a whip-smart daughter by his side. Before she knows it, the three of them have fallen into something that looks a whole lot like a team.
She knows better than to get attached. But the more time she spends on the water, the harder it is to pretend she doesn't care-about the race, about the people beside her, and about the version of herself who once believed in winning. Some races are about trophies. This one's about her heart.
