"They were supposed to be friends. But somewhere along the way, they became everything." Jules Maybank has spent her whole life surviving-surviving a broken home, an abusive relationship, and the kind of pain that never fully leaves. She's mastered the art of pretending: perfect smiles, brushed-over bruises, and telling everyone she's fine when she's falling apart inside. She's the tough one. The quiet storm. The girl with sharp eyes and softer scars. John B. Routledge has always been her constant-ever since she ran into him in the third grade with juice box hands and wide-eyed wonder. He was her secret first love, her middle school boyfriend, the one who saw her before the world broke her. But that was then. And this is now. Now, she belongs to someone else. Now, she's the girl behind guarded eyes and walls too high to climb. And John B? He's just trying to keep his own world from falling apart. But as fate keeps pulling them back together-late-night conversations, unspoken glances, shared silence where words don't reach-John B starts to see what's been right in front of him this whole time. That maybe Jules Maybank isn't just his past. Maybe she's his future. And Jules? She starts to realize that love doesn't have to hurt. That maybe she doesn't have to shrink herself to be wanted. That maybe, just maybe, she can be loved like she's the only girl in the world-by the one boy who always saw her, even when she couldn't see herself. In a world that's torn them down, can they choose each other? Or will love slip away before either of them is brave enough to reach for it? He was the calm in her storm. She was the light he didn't know he needed. And together? They might just be everything.

Sofia Bianchi has spent her entire life in front of cameras-perfect, untouchable, and endlessly watched. Modeling since the age of ten, she's built a career people dream of, but behind the flashing lights and curated perfection, she's exhausted. Burnt out. Invisible in all the ways that matter. So she disappears. No headlines. No announcements. Just a quiet escape to a small coastal town where no one knows her name, no one asks questions, and for the first time in her life... she can breathe. Luca Romano didn't plan the life he has-but he built it anyway. After being left with a newborn daughter, he traded the chaos of Rome for a quiet town and a small restaurant by the sea. Now, his world begins and ends with his five-year-old daughter, Chiara, and the life he's fought to create. It's simple. Safe. Unshakable. Until her. Sofia is different from anyone Luca has ever known-out of place, guarded, and carrying something he can't quite understand. And Luca is everything Sofia didn't know she needed-steady, warm, and real in a way her world has never been. What starts as quiet conversations and shared glances slowly turns into something deeper. Something neither of them planned. Something neither of them is ready to lose. But Sofia's life isn't something she can just walk away from. And Luca isn't someone who can risk being left behind again. Because some people are only meant to pass through your life... ...and some feel like home. Salt Air is a slow-burn, emotional romance about finding yourself, and learning that sometimes, the life you need is the one you never planned for.

Zmuszeni do współpracy, zaczynają poznawać się na nowo - a granica między konfliktem a czymś znacznie bardziej niebezpiecznym zaczyna się zacierać. Kai staje przed wyborem: pozostać obcym inwestorem, czy spróbować zrozumieć miejsce, do którego nigdy nie chciał należeć.

On an island where tides erase footprints but never secrets, Sloane Knox survives by staying invisible. Raised among rusting hulls and salt-stained docks, she learned early that the ocean gives-and takes-without warning. When whispers tied to her mother's disappearance resurface in the form of old shipping records and buried routes, Sloane is dragged back into a world she swore she'd never touch.

But when their separate searches collide, enemies become unwilling allies, forced into storm-chased dives, midnight stakeouts, and secrets sharp enough to drown them both. Trust is a liability. Attraction is worse. And in the Outer Banks, the devil you know is always closer than you think.

The last week of senior year was supposed to be about endings. Instead, it becomes the start of something messy, reckless, and impossible to ignore.

On an island torn in half by a river, two worlds are destined to never collide. The Kooks rule with money and legacy. The Pogues survive with grit and secrets. And in the middle of it all stands Banxy Montclair - the daughter of the island's most powerful family, raised in glittering privilege but haunted by the weight of a last name that built half the shore. Banxy's life has always followed a script: flawless parties, fake friendships, and a flawless image to maintain. But when one unexpected summer night shatters that illusion, she finds herself sitting alone by the waves on the wrong side of the island. And someone's watching. JJ Maybank doesn't trust people like her. Not their perfect smiles. Not their shiny cars. And definitely not their perfect lives. But when their paths cross in the eye of a storm, both literal and emotional and something starts to crack. Neither of them knows what's coming. Not the secrets. Not the betrayals. Not the fire that burns beneath the SaltLine and between them. One island. Two worlds. And a line no one was supposed to cross. Some things divide us by birth. Others, by choice. And sometimes, it takes a storm to wash the truth ashore.

Azrael Duskborne, the worst possible guardian angel, was assigned the duty to protect Noah, a second year psychology major with the survival instincts of a wet piece of bread. Neither know why Noah can see his angel, neither knows what makes this case so special, but with University and parties all day and night? Neither have the time to wonder. **** You know those small instances when you realize: "damn, I could have died." Well, Noah Montenegro keeps them like a coin collection. Now, he's the unlucky bastard granted the power to see his Guardian angel. Who apparently, got the job as a punishment. Insulting? Yes. Sensible? Also yes. But why him? They're are a ton more reckless idiots out there. Maybe it was because of the challenge. Maybe because of the extra watching, extra stressing, extra saving. Or maybe, all these near death experiences were caused by the very entity watching over him. Is Azrael truly a guardian angel, or a guardian devil?
