Salt Water Kisses: Broken Promises

"When the tide returns what is stolen, can love survive the tidal waves?" Ten years ago, Noah kissed Elara barefoot on the shore and promised her forever. The next day, he vanished with the tide, leaving nothing but silence and a shattered heart. Now, Elara pours coffee in her father's seaside café, pretending she's moved on. But the ocean is a thief, and today it has the nerve to return what it stole: Noah, older and haunted, stood in her doorway as if no time has passed at all. His return stirs up more than old wounds. When a violent storm wrecks a mysterious ship on their shores, it reveals a waterlogged chest and a wounded stranger who knows Noah—and the dangerous secret society he fled. Now, a ruthless man from Noah's past has come to claim what's his, threatening to drag their entire town into the depths if Elara doesn't surrender the chest. Caught between a love that never died and a tide of rising danger, Elara must decide if some promises are worth drowning for. Can a love written in salt survive the tidal waves of betrayal, or will the sea claim everything this time? A hauntingly beautiful tale of second chances, broken promises, and the unforgiving power of the sea, perfect for fans of emotional small-town romance and gripping coastal mysteries.
