Your must-read emotionally gripping small-town Cornish romance with the biggest heart, new for 2026

She's always been his enemy. He's never wanted her more…

The second in a gritty, emotional, small-town romance series set on the windswept Cornish coast, where the waves may crash—but hearts begin to heal.

The question isn’t whether I want to stay. The question is whether they’ll let me.

After Brynn Trelawney’s family left Sea Salt Bay under a cloud of scandal, she never thought she’d return. Now, twenty years later, she’s back, hoping to find belonging in the place she once called home.

For as long as Jude Harding can remember, his father has blamed the Trelawneys for things Jude doesn’t understand. But as he grows closer to Brynn, Jude starts to question where the truth really lies. He should keep his distance, but his attraction to Brynn is as dangerous as the pull of the tide…

Tropes:

• Enemies to lovers
• Forbidden love
• Grumpy sunshine
• Small-town romance

Pull Me Under is the second in a 3-book series delivering romantic escape with real-world grit, but can be read as a standalone.
