Saltwater Vows

When Lila Monroe runs out on her wedding in couture heels and heartbreak, she ends up barefoot in Driftwood Cove—the only place that ever felt like home. The only place that ever felt like hers. But she didn’t come back for a reunion. She came back to breathe, to hide, and maybe, to remember who she was before she became a brand.

Jonah Rhodes was the boy who carved her name into driftwood and caught her when the world cracked. Now he's the man building a life of sawdust and salt air—quiet, steady, and still haunted by the girl who left without goodbye.

When a panicked lie spirals into a fake engagement, the town rallies behind their favorite almost-couple with banners, potlucks, and seashell confetti. But the rules of the charade can’t contain the truth for long—not when old sparks reignite and forgiveness tastes like lemon shortbread and porch swing promises.

As the past threatens to write its own ending, Lila and Jonah must decide if they're brave enough to rewrite the story that once broke them.

Saltwater Vows is a heartfelt, emotionally charged second-chance romance about runaway brides, small-town beginnings, and the choice to stay when it's easier to run. For readers who believe love is worth rebuilding—one honest breath at a time.
