Whale Sized Heart

An epic, multi-generational love story of family secrets, redemption, and the fight to save the last wild orcas of the Pacific Northwest. Perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing and Water for Elephants–this deeply atmospheric romance explores the lengths we go to for love and proves that some things are worth saving at any cost.

Kassidy Karlson—a social media powerhouse—is fed up with throwaway trends and longs to turn her fame into something meaningful. But when a career-shattering mistake forces her to retreat from the spotlight, she finds herself on an isolated island in the Pacific Northwest, shrouded in family secrets. There, she discovers that her arrival was no accident and that this place holds both the key to her redemption and a love she never expected—one that binds her to a man and to the last wild orcas of the Pacific Northwest.

Shephard Maddox, a magnetic CEO with dark ties to a powerful corporation, lives alone in a waterfront mansion on the isolated island where Kassidy has just arrived. Ruggedly handsome and deeply secretive, Shephard guards a truth that could either save or destroy everything he holds dear. But to undo the damage left by generations before him, he must keep his secrets hidden and maintain his carefully crafted façade—even if it costs him the chance at true love.

As their undeniable chemistry ignites, neither Kassidy nor Shephard realizes their destinies are bound by forces deeper than chance but a legacy formed by a love story from decades past—a tale of passion and loss amid the dawn of a dark industry, when human greed targeted a family beneath the sea. Now, as ancient forces align with modern values, a new fight begins to save the wild orcas that still remain.

One love story is cut short–another is just beginning–destinies collide–buried secrets emerge, and second chances spark amidst a clash of passion and power. Protesters battle industries, CEOs cling to greed, and the fight to save a species on the brink of extinction intensifies in this sweeping tale of redemption, courage, and the sacrifices we make to protect a world worth saving–at any cost.

Whale Sized Heart is an unforgettable novel that explores the unbreakable bond between humans and orcas, the courage to rewrite the future while reckoning with the past, and the lengths we go to protect the places and people we love.
