Where the sea found me

Robin thought she had her life figured out.

A teaching career in New York.
A perfect apartment.
A wedding just days away.

Until one night shatters everything.

Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Robin does the only thing she can-she leaves. Trading the noise of the city for a quiet coastal village in Italy, she plans to start over... even if she has no idea how.

But Porto Salina has its own rhythm. Slow mornings. Salt in the air. And a small seaside café that begins to feel like home.

And then there's Gabriele.

The town's mechanic.
Quiet. Arrogant. Impossible to ignore.

He thinks she's just another city girl who won't last.
She thinks he's exactly the kind of man she should stay away from.

They're both wrong.

What begins as irritation turns into something neither of them expected-something slow, fragile, and dangerously real.

But when the past comes calling, Robin is forced to choose:

Go back to the life she once planned...
or stay and fight for the one she never saw coming.

Because sometimes, losing everything is the only way to find where you truly belong.
