He knows better than to mess with fire.
She wants to see what’s under the surface when she burns him open.

Nina Calloway is chaos, trouble, bite. She’s been his sister’s ride-or-die and the thorn in JD Tucker’s side for over twenty years.
But when his nanny suddenly bails, leaving JD solo with a five-year-old, it’s Nina who steps in.
…Mostly because her apartment just split in half like the goddamn apocalypse.

Now she’s living in JD’s guest house, helping with his kid, and trying really hard not to notice her best friend’s brother got hot.
JD Tucker is still an ass. He’s always been an ass. And she’s pretty sure he has the emotional depth of a shot glass.

Until she sees the cracks.
A panic attack behind closed doors.
The man who still believes the worst things his ex ever said about him.
Twenty-five years of avoiding the flames—now it’s time to play with fire.

The Blooming Tide is a steamy childhood frenemies-to-lovers, coastal small town romance with sizzling spice and achy angst, with a sweet HEA to heal you after.

This book contains explicit content and potentially triggering material, including past domestic abuse, on page panic attacks, and ignorance about neurodivergence. Trigger warnings are detailed within, and are also available on the author’s website.
