Soft Landing

Iris comes to Alder Creek to open a salon built on one radical idea: silence is allowed.

Soft Landing is a place where clients don't have to explain themselves, where care doesn't demand conversation. At first, the town is intrigued. Then wary. And when a client's appointment ends in crisis, Iris finds herself at the centre of questions she never intended to answer.

Jonah has lived in Alder Creek his entire life, quietly keeping it running. He understands silence better than most, and recognises something rare in the space Iris has created. As rumours spread and the town pushes back, Iris and Jonah find themselves drawn together by a shared understanding of stillness, choice and trust.

Tender and restrained, Soft Landing is a love story rooted not in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments where people choose one another and themselves.
