The Kisses That Hurt: A Story of Love, Loss, and Rebirth Between the Tides is a novel born from silence and blooming through art. Set in the heartwarming coastal town of Puerto Azul, this story follows the journey of Elena and Adrián: two wounded souls who weren't looking to find each other, yet unknowingly built a shared refuge.

She paints to survive her past. He photographs to remember who he is. Together, they discover that love doesn't always come to heal instantly—but it always comes to transform. Through community workshops, forgotten letters, collective murals, and intimate confessions, this novel explores the power of art as medicine, pain as a seed, and love as an act of resistance.

Is not a perfect love story—it's a real one. Where love is built among scars, where broken things still have the right to be beautiful, and where each reader might find themselves in one quiet corner of its pages.

This book is a warm embrace for anyone who has loved with fear, cried in silence, or searched for a new beginning.
