About this listen

Set in the charming seaside town of Shorehaven, international artist Zara Kingly craves solace, far from the noise of the stage, where the world forgets her name. She finds that solace in the quiet shores of Shorehaven. To ensure her privacy and safety during her stay, the town’s chief sheriff assigns Matteo—a gentle, protective deputy police officer—as her personal bodyguard.

Matteo, a single father who is also trying to escape becoming the shadow of his billionaire father, quickly forms a bond with Zara. As Zara returns to town each summer, their bond deepens like the tide—unspoken, patient, and quietly beautiful. Until one summer, Zara does not return, and Matteo is unable to reach her. Matteo is left searching for answers, unraveling the secrets she’s been hiding and the truth behind what she’s really running from.
