Saltwater Between Us
When Cerys Duncan trades predictability for open water, she never expects to find love waiting for her on the shores of Te Motu Aroha.
Determined to sail solo across turquoise seas and chart her own course, Cerys refuses to shrink her dreams for anyone—not even Liam, the charming island local who captures her heart as effortlessly as the tide.
Their connection is undeniable. Their chemistry, electric. But when love asks her to stay, Cerys must choose: the man who feels like home, or the horizon that has always called her name.
Paradise wasn’t meant to last forever.
Sweeping, sun-soaked, and emotionally resonant, Saltwater Between Us is a story of longing, courage, and a love strong enough to cross oceans.

About Jade
Jade Black writes stories where love is powerful, complicated, and never an afterthought. Her work spans contemporary romance, epic gothic fantasy romance, and romantic suspense, blending emotional intensity with lush worldbuilding and high-stakes devotion.
Drawn to relationships forged in fire rather than convenience, Jade’s stories explore identity, resilience, and the transformative nature of partnership. Her characters fall in love amid political intrigue, generational secrets, dangerous loyalties, and the quiet, everyday courage it takes to be fully seen. Romance, in her world, is not a subplot. It is the catalyst.
Influenced by gothic atmospheres, layered mythology, and the fragile line between vulnerability and strength, Jade crafts sweeping narratives where passion and power exist side by side. Whether set in a contemporary city or a crumbling empire, her stories promise emotional depth, immersive settings, and love stories that feel earned.
When not writing, Jade finds inspiration in art museums, architectural history, and the subtle choreography of human connection.
