Tides of the Heart
A novel by Lyra Swann
When Isla joins a restoration team on the windswept shores of the Outer Hebrides, she’s chasing history, not danger—or so she believes. Unearthed from beneath centuries of rock and moss, ancient artifacts stir up more than just scholarly debate. They awaken whispers of secrets long buried, secrets that some would kill to protect.
Finn is no ordinary man. A mysterious outsider with ties to the sea, he’s been drawn to Isla for reasons even he can’t fully explain. His warnings about the island’s hidden dangers grow more urgent, but Isla can’t tell if he’s trying to protect her or keep her away from truths that hit too close to home.
As tensions rise among the team, and betrayal threatens to shatter their fragile unity, Isla and Finn find themselves drawn together beneath the endless starlit sky. But their connection is more than passion—it’s a bond that could unravel the mysteries of the past or doom them both to a fate written in the waves.
Haunted by the island’s legends and drawn into Finn’s enigmatic world, Isla must decide: will she cling to the truths she knows or plunge headfirst into a love as deep and untamed as the sea itself?
For fans of Outlander and The Night Circus, Tides of the Heart is a tale of ancient secrets, forbidden love, and the relentless pull of the unknown

Chapter 1
A rugged island shaped by wind and waves, Taransay is a remote abandoned place cradled by the North Atlantic. Soft stretches of pale sand curve along its shore, while cliffs hold steady against the ocean’s relentless pulse. The air tastes of salt and untamed spaces, a reminder of days untouched by human hands.
