Saltwater Hearts

Some tides never stop pulling you back.

Breakwater Bay was never meant to be permanent. Not for Rae Callahan-not after the heartbreak, the family secrets, the way she left everything behind without saying goodbye. But when she returns home in her early twenties, raw from loss and searching for something she can't quite name, the sleepy surf town greets her with more than just crashing waves and old memories.

There's Kai Mercer, her once-best friend and first love-the boy who waited, hurt, and never truly let her go. Still sun-drenched and sincere, Kai wants answers. Closure. Maybe even a second chance.

And then there's Nico Blackwell-quiet, sharp-edged, and nothing like what Rae remembers from before. A loner with a past he keeps locked up tight, Nico doesn't chase people. But Rae? She makes him want to risk everything.

Torn between a boy who knows her past and a man who sees her present, Rae must untangle the version of herself she lost from the one she's becoming. As secrets rise with the tide and emotions build like storms offshore, one thing is certain-

In Breakwater Bay, love is as dangerous as the undertow.
And hearts aren't the only things that break.
