Salt Air and Second Chances: A Gentle Giant, Anxious Academic MM Romance by Robyn Bright
Gentle giant meets anxious academic. An old library in need of saving. A second chance to belong.

Rowan Taylor has always been Brightmere’s quiet strength — steady hands, broad shoulders, and a heart too often overlooked. As the village builder, he’s used to fixing things, not being truly seen. When the library faces closure, he steps in to help with the repairs, even if it means working alongside someone who makes his chest ache with unfamiliar hope.

Jules Pembroke has built his life around books, not people. The anxious young librarian would rather hide behind catalogues and cardigans than risk his heart. But when Rowan’s calm presence steadies him — even in the chaos of sawdust, leaky roofs, and village gossip — Jules starts to wonder if trust might not be so terrifying after all.

As autumn’s harvest fair approaches and the library’s future hangs in the balance, Rowan and Jules discover that quiet companionship can grow into something deeper. Between bunting, cider, and the warmth of a community that won’t let them give up, they’ll have to risk their fears for the chance at love.

Salt Air and Second Chances is a cozy MM romance featuring a gentle giant, an anxious academic, Brightmere’s harvest fair, and a tender journey of trust, healing, and homecoming.
