Some love stories cross oceans. Some cross lifetimes. Some cross the line between the living and the lost. Sixteen-year-old Jazzline doesn't expect her summer at Pawleys Island to change everything. She only knows she needs the quiet rhythm of the ocean, the comfort of family, and maybe a little distance from the parts of her life that still feel broken. Then she meets Seth MacKenzie. Mysterious, gifted, and impossible to ignore, Seth belongs to a family wrapped in secrets, music, old legends, and a calling Jazzline does not yet understand. The closer she gets to him, the more her world begins to shift. Whispers feel like warnings. Dreams feel like memories. Love feels less like a choice and more like something written long before she arrived. But the MacKenzies are not an ordinary family. They are Lightbearers. And Jazzline may be one of them. As friendship deepens into first love and destiny begins to unfold, Jazzline must face the truth about her voice, her gifts, and the bridge between this world and the next. But every gift has a cost, and the love that awakens her heart may also lead her toward the grief she fears most. Clean, emotional, and hauntingly romantic, Bridges is the first book in The Lightbearers Series, a YA Southern Gothic paranormal romance about love, loss, family, faith, and the gifts that call us home. Perfect for readers who enjoy clean YA romance, supernatural mystery, beach-town atmosphere, family secrets, and emotionally powerful stories of hope.
