When Harper Voss inherits her aunt's crumbling Victorian inn on the rugged Maine coast, she trades her sterile Boston life for salt air, second chances, and the hope that fixing the Sea Glass Inn might mend her own broken heart.
Haven's Point is nothing like the big city. The townspeople know everyone's secrets, the winters bite hard, and the local bartender, broad-shouldered, tattooed, and permanently scowling, makes it clear outsiders aren't welcome.
Eli Thorne has spent years behind the bar of The Anchor, nursing old guilt and keeping the world at arm's length. The last thing he needs is a sunny city girl with big renovation plans stirring up memories he'd rather drown in whiskey. But Harper's stubborn warmth cracks the walls he's built, and the chemistry between them burns hotter than the bonfires on the beach.
As they work together on the town's Harbor Festival, long-buried grief surfaces, old wounds reopen, and both must decide if they're brave enough to let the tide carry away the past. In a town that remembers every loss, can two broken hearts find the courage to build something lasting under the salt air?
Salt On Skin is a steamy, emotional small-town romance featuring a grumpy bartender hero, a sunshine heroine healing from loss, slow-burn tension that explodes into sizzling chemistry, and the kind of found-family community that feels like home. Perfect for fans of emotional contemporary romance with heart, heat, and a happily-ever-after that lingers like sea glass on the shore.
