About this audiobook

She came to the Baltic coast to build her future. She never expected to meet a man who was afraid to return to his own. At twenty-nine, Róża Krawiec has finally decided to stop designing other people's dreams. After years of working for a clothing company, she has invested her savings, talent, and determination in an independent knitwear brand. Her first collection is more than a business venture. It is proof that she can create a life on her own terms. All she needs is the perfect setting for a promotional photo shoot. A beautifully restored wooden sailboat on the windswept Hel Peninsula seems to offer everything she has imagined: natural textures, muted Baltic colors, and the quiet elegance of genuine craftsmanship. Then she meets Bartosz Morski. Thirty-four-year-old Bartosz is a gifted boatbuilder with a stubborn streak, an unexpectedly gentle touch, and very definite rules. He agrees to help with the collection, but one condition is nonnegotiable: the boat will remain on dry land. Róża wants to know why. Bartosz isn't ready to tell her. What begins as a clash between an ambitious designer and a guarded craftsman slowly becomes something neither of them planned. Their disagreements turn into conversations that last long after the workday ends. Shared coffee becomes an excuse to linger. Cold walks along deserted beaches lead to stolen kisses, vulnerable admissions, and a growing desire to make room for someone else. For Róża, falling in love means risking the independence she has fought so hard to achieve. She has already experienced a relationship in which affection came with expectations, compromises, and the gradual loss of her own voice. She refuses to live that way again. For Bartosz, closeness means allowing another person to see the parts of his life he has spent years trying to conceal. He once ran a much larger business, surrounded by boats, employees, clients, and ambitious plans. Now he works alone in a modest workshop, claiming he chose a quieter life. But behind that carefully constructed explanation lies a professional failure, unfinished obligations, and decisions whose consequences still shape his future. As Róża's collection attracts commercial interest, pressure grows to turn the mysterious boatbuilder and his restoration project into an inspirational advertising story. It could be the opportunity her young company needs. It could also destroy the fragile trust developing between them. With her business, her heart, and her future at stake, Róża must decide what she is willing to compromise and what she refuses to surrender. Bartosz, meanwhile, must confront a painful question: can he ask someone to trust him while continuing to hide the truth? Set against the atmospheric Baltic coastline, Salt on Your Sweater is a sensual contemporary romance about second chances, emotional honesty, personal independence, and the courage to love without losing yourself. A story of wool and weathered wood, longing and difficult choices, and two people discovering that love is not about controlling the wind. It is about choosing a course together.
