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.
