Dive into "Sailing into the Heart," book one in the EMMA Award-Winning St. James Sisters series by Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestseller, Tana Jenkins.
He broke her heart. The island healed it. Now he's back, but the tides have turned.
Sydney St. James retreated from the shadows of her past, finding solace and safety on idyllic Mackinac Island. Untouched by the roar of cars— the island is the haven she sought after the waves of tragic loss swept away her closest family. Here, she's free to be the quirky teacher with a penchant for hallway dances and math class melodies. She's also the guardian of a found family, her students and adopted animals, living a stitched-together-life far from the bustle and noise that echo her fears.
However, her precious tranquility is tested by the unexpected return of big city financier Devin Fox, her childhood love. Brash and unsentimental, he believes fast cars and faster living will get him wherever he needs. And his plans for the island threaten everything Sydney holds dear.
As lines are drawn in the sand, Sydney faces a choice: retreat deeper or confront the storms she's spent years avoiding.
Set against Mackinac Island's breathtaking backdrop, Sailing into the Heart is not just a story of love reborn; it's an adventure of self-discovery, testament to the power of found family, and a reminder that sometimes, the most significant journeys force us to navigate the roads we fear the most. If you like Hallmark-style beach romances, adorable animals, and opposites attract, you’ll love this story!
Named 2022 Debut Author of the Year by RSJ, Tana Jenkins is a Pushcart Nominee, OFTS Finalist, and EMMA Award-Winner for Clean & Sweet Romance, who has always been passionate about the magic of love.

There, she lives her own HEA with her college sweetheart and their adorable rescue, Albee. When not penning the next novel or planning beach escapades, she can be found snuggled up with a good book and a bowl of ice cream.
