Astrid Calloway's family built their fortune on a promise they broke. Eli Marsh has spent ten years trying to rebuild what that promise destroyed - his father's boat, his father's name, the stubborn independence of a life no one else can sign away.
One summer. Two harbors. A love neither of them can afford.
When Astrid is sent to put a human face on her family's company, she doesn't know she's walking into the wreckage of a fifteen-year-old betrayal - or that the fisherman she's falling for carries the cost of it in his hands every single day. The truth, when it finally surfaces, will demand everything. The only question is whether either of them will be brave enough in time.
The Weight of Water is a bittersweet contemporary romance about class, complicity, and the cost of staying silent too long.
