About Azalea Alcott

When Harper Callahan returns to her small hometown on the North Carolina coast, she tells herself it’s only temporary. Just long enough to settle her late father’s affairs, repair the weather-beaten beach house she swore she’d never step foot in again, and outrun the wreckage of her life in Charleston.

But the coast has a memory as deep as the Atlantic—and so does Beckett “Beck” Monroe.

Once the golden boy of the Outer Banks and the only man Harper ever loved, Beck is now a local charter captain carrying scars of his own. Years ago, one reckless summer and one devastating choice pulled them apart. Now, thrown together by family ties and a looming hurricane season, they’re forced to confront the undertow of unfinished promises and the undeniable spark that still crackles between them.
As shifting tides reshape the shoreline, Harper must decide whether to retreat to the safe, predictable life she built—or risk being pulled back into the riptide of a love that never truly let her go.

Set against sun-bleached dunes, rolling surf, and the wild beauty of the Carolina coast, Pulled Into The Riptide is a heartfelt contemporary romance about forgiveness, courage, and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous currents lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.
