Ainsleigh Jacobs knows the sea better than anyone-its moods, its power, even its secrets. But some tides are more dangerous than others, and this year, everything is about to change.
A new boy arrives in town: quiet, brooding, and impossible to ignore. He carries secrets that make even the wildest waves seem calm. When Ainsleigh meets him at her family's seafood restaurant, sparks fly-but so does the tension.
Between fierce surfing competitions, small-town rumors, and the shocking disappearance of a local rival, Leigh finds herself caught in a dangerous current she can't escape.
As storms roll in and the ocean turns lethal, Ainsleigh will risk everything-her heart, her dreams, even her life-to survive. But when love and danger collide, will she ride the tide... or let it pull her under?
I cleaned up:
Added punctuation for clarity and flow.
Smoothed some sentences to make it punchier.
Hyphenated small-town and slightly tightened phrasing.
If you want, I can also make an even snappier version under 120 words that's perfect for Amazon or social media, keeping all the suspense, romance, and ocean danger.
Do you want me to do that?
yes
Perfect! Here's a short, punchy version under 120 words-tight, suspenseful, and romantic, perfect for Amazon previews or social media:

As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in.
"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered.
(No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.)
I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness.
The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in.
"Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep.
(Rest now, you're safe, baby).
