Salt And Sunlight

By Vakar Ahmet

Anna Walker has spent years trying to outrun the shadows of her past. When illness and desperation drive her back to New York City, she seeks refuge on her estranged father's barge, determined to stay hidden from the world-and from love.

But during a violent storm, fate throws rugged oil-rig worker Matt Burke into Anna's path. Matt is charismatic, stubborn, and utterly captivated by the woman who saved his life. He sees beyond Anna's haunted eyes and refuses to be driven away, even as secrets threaten to tear them apart.

As the Hudson River churns beneath them, Anna wrestles with guilt and shame over the life she led to survive. She pushes Matt away, convinced he deserves someone untouched by darkness. Matt, however, has demons of his own-and a love fierce enough to challenge the walls Anna has built.

Meanwhile, Chris Walker, a grizzled barge captain, faces his own reckoning for the years he spent absent from his daughter's life. As truths explode into the open, father and daughter must decide if forgiveness is possible-or if the tides will pull them apart forever.

Salt And Sunlight is a searing, emotional love story about second chances, the weight of secrets, and the courage it takes to believe you're worthy of happiness. In the glow of a New York Harbor sunrise, three souls discover that love can heal even the deepest wounds-and that sometimes, the hardest storms lead to the most beautiful dawns.
