Read Saltaire (Book 1)
 
Saltaire (Fire Island)Hazel JacksPaperbackIt was the Summer of 2004... Penn I didn’t go looking for her, but I wanted her from the moment we met. To know her. To have her. Even just for a night—until I found out how old she was. That should have been it. The end. She was too young, and far too good for me. She had everything, and I had nothing to offer. Still, all I wanted was her. Before I realized what was happening, I was in way too deep. One summer was all we could have. A stolen season that would glimmer in my memory like a fragment of starlight stolen and tucked away. A love that would color every song I ever wrote from then on. Love didn’t matter, though. It wasn’t enough. Not for a girl like Raegan. The only way to give her what she deserved was to break her heart. And mine. Raegan All I wanted was a summer fling. It was the last summer I’d spend on Fire Island before moving across the country for college. I wasn’t looking for anything serious—I wasn’t looking for love. But then I met Penn. He wasn’t like anyone I’d ever known, and he wasn’t the playboy he pretended to be. He was sweet and caring, drop-dead gorgeous, and it didn’t hurt that he was a musician. He made me feel like I was all that mattered to him. He became my entire world in a matter of weeks. I’d been coming to the seaside community on Fire Island from NYC for years in the summers. But this summer, everything felt different. Everything was different. Because of him. And this summer, I didn’t want to leave. I gave him my heart...my body...my soul… I was willing to give him my future too. But it wasn’t enough. Set on Fire Island, Saltaire is a heartwarming first love story filled with summer heat, emotional depth, and the unforgettable pull of a once-in-a-lifetime connection. Perfect for fans of small town romance, age gap love stories, and dual POV beach reads. Saltaire is book one of the Fire Island Series. Penn and Raegan’s story is concluded in book two.

Return to Saltaire (Fire Island)Hazel JacksPaperbackA lot can change in ten years... Raegan First loves are false and fleeting. I’ve been trying to make myself believe that for years now. This is my first time back to Fire Island since the summer before college–since Penn broke my heart. I knew it was inevitable that I’d see him here, and yet, even after a decade apart, I wasn’t prepared. Not for his striking eyes that still turn my heart inside out. Not for the way a quick flash of his tattoos sends heat flooding my skin. Penn is in my past, though, and Joshua is my future. Handsome, kind, financially secure. He’s everything a woman could want in a husband. It shouldn’t matter that he’s not Penn, and maybe once we’re married, it won’t. But seeing Penn again after all this time reminds me why I’ve never really let him go. Penn When I pushed Raegan away, I knew I’d regret it. I just didn’t understand how much. Now she’s back on Fire Island for a visit, looking every bit as beautiful as the day she left. I would have gone to California to win her back, but life had other plans for me. Instead, I let her believe I’d forgotten. I’ve had ten long years to contemplate the past, and she’s spent most of that time building her future. The future she deserves. In our time apart, I’ve relearned how to live, letting my music piece together the wounds of life, and doing my best to forget the biggest mistake I ever made. But when fate throws us together again, I can’t help feeling like it’s meant to be. The problem? Even if I can convince Raegan our love never faded, she’s marrying someone else. Return to Saltaire is the emotional conclusion to Penn and Raegan’s sweeping beach romance—a soulful second chance love story filled with heartbreak, healing, and the kind of connection that never fades. Perfect for readers who love dual POV, wounded heroes, love triangles, and soulmate stories set against the charm of a small town by the sea. For the best reading experience, Saltaire, which is book one of the Fire Island series, should be read before Return to Saltaire.
