Robin Cruz has spent twenty years becoming the daughter everyone expected her to be. Leaving Kansas for Redwood University in Santa Monica is supposed to be the beginning of everything she's planned: a degree in graphic design, a part-time job at a neighborhood bar to help pay tuition, and, soon enough, a new life with her boyfriend, Nate, who's joining her. Then she meets Camden Hayes, striking blonde with ocean-blue eyes. Sharp-tongued, impossible to read, and convinced Robin doesn't belong anywhere near Santa Monica, Camden has a talent for getting under her skin like no one ever has. Every shift turns into a battle. Every conversation ends in an argument. And somewhere between late nights behind the bar, contempt gives way to something far more dangerous. As the life Robin always imagined begins to unravel, she's forced to confront a truth that reaches far beyond a forbidden attraction: growing up isn't just about deciding who you want to become. It's about accepting that becoming yourself may cost you the life you thought you wanted. Set beneath the California sun, between the Pacific Ocean and the worn wooden counter of Penny's, SaltWater is a slow-burning sapphic novel about desire, chosen family, first freedom, and the impossible weight of telling the truth.

Isolate

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
