Story Notes

Summary

Roxanne Baker buried her husband six years ago. Captain William “Buff” Hargreeve was the love of her life, the man who built the cabins overlooking Saltwater Creek and promised they’d grow old watching the Pacific together. But war took him first. Leaving the coast behind was the only way Roxanne knew how to survive. Now a business opportunity is pulling her back toward the town she once called home—and toward the men Buff died saving. She expected memories. She didn’t expect Enzo Flores. Blind from the same mission that killed her husband, Enzo lives on the ridge Buff built for his team. Quiet, steady, and sharper than anyone realizes, he carries his darkness with a kind of calm strength Roxanne can’t ignore. Enzo never planned to fall for the widow of the man who saved his life. But the more time they spend together—between late-night phone calls, coffee at the pier, and laughter with the chaotic family Buff left behind—the harder it becomes to deny what’s growing between them. Because loving Roxanne feels dangerously like hope. And hope is terrifying when you’ve already lost everything once. But Saltwater Creek has always been a place for broken soldiers and second chances. And sometimes the brightest light doesn’t come from what you can see… It comes from the person willing to walk beside you in the dark.
