 Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a relaxing weekend! I know I am 😀 I missed last week because we were moving my daughter back to college, so I am happy to be back this week!! Welcome back to First Line Friday which had been hosted by Hoarding Books and it has recently moved to Reading is My SuperPower!! Thank you Carrie for taking this on!! To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line. This week I am sharing from Liz Johnson's newly released Beyond the Tides. This is also the first book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series.

Morning had a terrible habit of arriving too early, at least as far as Meg Whitaker was concerned.

I will also be linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading.

Book Beginnings:

Morning had a terrible habit of arriving too early, at least as far as Meg Whitaker was concerned. And it was too fond of adding a chill to the summer air at the shoreline.

She hunched into her oversized sweater and shivered against a gust of wind as a pair of headlights bounced into the red dirt parking lot across from the wharf. Finally. Her dad was already five minutes late, and she had only dragged herself from bed at such an absurd hour because he'd told her he needed to see her, and this was the only time that Mama Potts could stay with her mom. Besides, after decades on the water, her dad loved this time of day.

About the book (from Goodreads):

When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.

Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.

Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.

Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.
