The Heart of Oyster Creek

Every fabric holds a memory. His holds a fate.

In her coastal Connecticut workshop, Megan McKenna restores heirloom textiles, guided by a gift she’s never told anyone about. When she touches cloth, she feels the emotions of those who’ve touched it before her. For twenty years, she has felt people’s joy, grief, and longing while keeping her own heart locked away.

Then Grant Wilkinson arrives with a linen navigational chart from the late 1800s, passed down from his great-grandfather. The moment Megan lays her hands on the map, emotion floods through her—aching and unfinished—unlike anything she’s ever felt before.

As Megan and Grant are drawn into the map’s mystery, feelings neither one expected begin pulling them closer together. Megan has built her life around the certainty that she’s better off alone. But this map and the man who brought it might just prove her wrong.
