Sofia Bianchi has spent her entire life in front of cameras-perfect, untouchable, and endlessly watched. Modeling since the age of ten, she's built a career people dream of, but behind the flashing lights and curated perfection, she's exhausted. Burnt out. Invisible in all the ways that matter. So she disappears. No headlines. No announcements. Just a quiet escape to a small coastal town where no one knows her name, no one asks questions, and for the first time in her life... she can breathe. Luca Romano didn't plan the life he has-but he built it anyway. After being left with a newborn daughter, he traded the chaos of Rome for a quiet town and a small restaurant by the sea. Now, his world begins and ends with his five-year-old daughter, Chiara, and the life he's fought to create. It's simple. Safe. Unshakable. Until her. Sofia is different from anyone Luca has ever known-out of place, guarded, and carrying something he can't quite understand. And Luca is everything Sofia didn't know she needed-steady, warm, and real in a way her world has never been. What starts as quiet conversations and shared glances slowly turns into something deeper. Something neither of them planned. Something neither of them is ready to lose. But Sofia's life isn't something she can just walk away from. And Luca isn't someone who can risk being left behind again. Because some people are only meant to pass through your life... ...and some feel like home. Salt Air is a slow-burn, emotional romance about finding yourself, and learning that sometimes, the life you need is the one you never planned for.

Anxious overachiever, Sophia Calloway, has a plan; graduate top of her class, get into a top 3 law school, keep her head down and emotions quieter. So when the University of Michigan's ice hockey team targets her in a prank gone wrong? She's ready to call campus security, drop-kick the nearest jock and move on with her structured little life. Instead, she gets Holden Zhao. Captain of the hockey team- too charming for his own good, worryingly reckless and absolutely allergic to authority. And now- assigned to her beloved library shift as punishment. Holden has never met a girl who doesn't fall at his feet. Sophia has never met a boy who makes her want to scream... and maybe kiss, all in the same breath. He calls her uptight. She calls him a menace. But the longer they're stuck together, the harder it is to pretend it's just a punishment. The less it feels like one, too. ➳♡➳ "I'm not going to kiss you, Soph." She crosses her arms defensively. "And why the hell not?" "I'm not going to kiss you," My lips graze the shell of her ear. "Until you beg me to." ➳♡➳ Slow burn. Enemies to friends to lovers. Banter like a whiplash. One anxious overachiever. One chaotic hockey captain. This was never part of the plan.

Brady Parker. The best hockey player Holloway University had seen in years. He was essentially guaranteed a position on any professional team he wanted.

But it wasn't without its struggle. Tatum Hartley. Biology student, aspiring doctor, and current assistant to the physical therapist for the Holloway Falcons. She adored her job, except for the fact that her most time-consuming patient was the one who wanted to be there the least. But given his knee was smashed in, she couldn't say the attitude was unexpected. Not to mention, the investigation into who almost ended Brady's career was still ongoing. Nobody seemed to know exactly what happened that night- or rather, they just weren't willing to say. Sticks and stones may break their bones, but their secrets are what will cast the final blow. ●・○・♥︎・○・● Approximately 93.4k words Complete
