Saltwater Summers

Addie Jane never wanted to leave home-especially not the summer before her senior year.

When her mom announces they're moving to a small beach town hours away, Addie feels like everything she's built-her friends, her dance career, and the life she loves-is slipping through her fingers. Determined to face the change head-on, she takes a spring break trip to see the town that will soon become her new home.

She doesn't expect to meet Jaxin.

Tall, quiet, and guarded, Jaxin has spent his whole life in the coastal town Addie is trying not to hate. Between early morning soccer practices, late nights with his friends, and the waves he escapes to whenever life gets too loud, he's built walls around himself-walls he doesn't let many people through.

But one night on the beach changes everything.

What starts as a fleeting spring break connection turns into something neither of them can forget. When Addie returns months later for good, their worlds collide again-bringing new friendships, old wounds, and a summer filled with bonfires, boardwalk nights, and secrets neither of them expected to share.

But senior year means big choices, uncertain futures, and the possibility that the one person who feels like home... might not be part of the plan.

Sometimes the most unexpected places bring you exactly where you're meant to be.

And sometimes, love finds you in the middle of a saltwater summer.
