She has a folder on her phone named with a single lock emoji. Inside are 223 screenshots that prove he is a liar. Tonight, she is going to press send.
Harper Ellison is not the other woman you expect. She isn't naive. She isn't a victim. She is a woman who deals in data-an environmental consultant who measures erosion for a living. When she meets Callum Soren, a charismatic tech CEO, the chemistry is instant, violent, and consuming.
He tells her his relationship is fading. He tells her they are just roommates. He tells her she is the only thing that makes him feel real.
He is lying.
Three weeks after they meet, while Harper is waiting for a text, Callum is standing at an altar in a navy suit, marrying Margot Voss.
Harper knows. She sees the photos. She sees the ring. But she doesn't leave. Instead, she stays, and she starts to collect evidence. For eighteen months, she documents every stolen weekend, every gaslighting text, every receipt for an anniversary gift bought while he was sleeping in her bed. She becomes the archivist of her own destruction.
But surveillance is a dangerous game. As Harper's obsession spirals from love into a forensic hunt for the truth, she realizes that the only way to free herself is to burn the whole house down.
One email. Four attachments. A devastation she never saw coming.
Saltwater Wounds is a dark, gripping anatomy of an affair that refuses to look away. It is not a love story; it is a story about the addiction of longing, the violence of silence, and the terrifying things we do when we want to be the main character in someone else's life.
Perfect for readers who crave the moral complexity of a mistress POV and the shattering tension of a domestic noir.
