The Rising Tide Rests

Ashley Palmer doesn't lose cases-or her composure. As Honeyshore's sharp-tongued defense attorney, she's built her career on precision, power suits, and a heart locked behind titanium walls. Until Damon Scott-the golden-boy District Attorney she's spent years despising-decides to light a match and watch her burn. Their rivalry started in law school. It reignited in a courtroom packed with cameras and ended with Ashley's mic drop heard around Honeyshore. Now, with the trial behind them, Damon offers her something she never saw coming: a job beside him. Working together means close quarters, long nights, and too many stolen glances. But when old secrets surface and the past they never talked about comes back swinging, Ashley and Damon will have to decide whether to keep fighting each other... or finally surrender to the pull neither of them can ignore. Because in Honeyshore, the tide doesn't just rise-it tests everything that refuses to rest. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance set in the Shelf Indulgence universe.
