Lyra Kai writes laugh-out-loud small-town rom-coms with plenty of heart, humor, and a splash of salt air. Set in a quirky houseboat community on the Sausalito waterfront, her stories are filled with witty banter, big feelings, and neighbors who always know a little too much. When she’s not writing happily-ever-afters, you can find her chasing sunsets by the bay, sampling too many lattes, or eavesdropping on conversations she’ll probably turn into dialogue later.

Coming Fall 2025
Serenity Bay Series

Welcome to Serenity Bay Marina, where second chances float on the tide, found family gathers on weathered docks, and love has a habit of sneaking up on people who’ve sworn off romance entirely.

Nestled in the heart of Sausalito, California, Serenity Bay Marina is more than just a collection of houseboats bobbing on the San Francisco Bay—it’s a refuge for people starting over, a community of quirky neighbors who’ve become chosen family, and apparently, the most romantic spot on the West Coast (according to Sage, the yoga instructor who claims she can see auras).

Each book in the Serenity Bay Series follows a different resident finding unexpected love while rebuilding their life at the marina. Whether you’re escaping corporate burnout, recovering from betrayal, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, Serenity Bay has a slip waiting for you—and probably a meddling neighbor or three ready to play matchmaker.

The Serenity Bay Promise: Every book delivers a satisfying happily ever after, characters you’ll want as friends, a community you’ll wish you lived in, and enough romance, humor, and heart to make you believe in second chances—and maybe even third ones.
