Description

When London businessman Mike Dormer arrives in a quiet Australian seaside town to advance plans for a luxury watersports resort, he expects a straightforward career opportunity—not a community fiercely devoted to its bay and the whales and dolphins that pass through it. At the Silver Bay Hotel, he encounters the guarded Liza McCullen, her increasingly independent daughter Hannah, and Liza’s formidable aunt Kathleen, whose unconventional lives challenge his carefully ordered ambitions. As Mike grows closer to the people and wildlife of Silver Bay, the planned development forces questions about conservation, belonging, family, and the true cost of progress. Told through multiple perspectives, this atmospheric novel blends romance, family drama, and a vivid portrait of a threatened coastal community.
