Mooring Lines
A Canal Romance
When Ivy moors her narrowboat at a forgotten bend of the canal, she hopes only to grieve for her father and a place to begin again.
But when Theo—a haunted rock violinist searching for his own redemption—ties up beside her, the quiet waters start to stir.
Between drifting fog and the echoes of old tragedies, their stories entwine through music, memory, and the slow rhythm of canal life.
Each lock and turning tide brings them closer to forgiveness, to healing, and to a love as deep and steady as the water beneath their hulls.
If you love burning, heartfelt romances set in tranquil places with secrets just beneath the surface, you’ll fall in love with Mooring Lines, Book 1 of the Tow Path Tales.

As Tess and Theo navigate their growing connection, the novel interweaves:

• Community life — canal folk, wise old musicians, pub owners, rivalries, and friendships.

• Romantic tension — from playful banter to storm-soaked intimacy on the boat decks.

• Personal growth — Tess learning independence and strength in her new world; Theo confronting his doubts about fame, creativity, and belonging.

The story builds toward a Festival climax, where Theo’s fiddle performance (with Tess at his side) captures both the local crowd and the wider world when clips go viral online. The ending balances resolution with possibility—leaving Tess and Theo secure in their bond but with open horizons, hinting at future adventures along the canals and beyond.
