Saltwater Echoes
By Zuri N
When Thobi-a wealthy heir bound to a loveless engagement-escapes to a forgotten island for one last taste of freedom, he doesn't expect Joelle. A healer, artist, and fierce islander, Joelle has no interest in entertaining tourists-especially not one with dimples and a diamond-ringed fianc e. But a single look at the marketplace unravels everything.
Drawn together by fate, pulled apart by legacy, the two fall into a love that could heal their nations-or destroy them both. When political ambition leads to tragedy and memory loss, Joelle is forced to become a ghost in the life of the man who once swore to return for her.
Told with lyrical prose and aching intimacy, Saltwater Echoes is a sweeping Afro-romantic folktale of soulmates, sovereignty, and the brutal beauty of remembering what the world demands you forget.
If love could echo across oceans... would you still hear it?
