About Saltwater Secrets
Marina has spent years running from her past—pain, addiction, heartbreak, and the version of herself she swore she’d never become again. When she meets Ethan, a gentle, steady man with scars of his own, she finally begins to believe she deserves something real. But just as their connection deepens, life throws them both into battles they never saw coming.
Determined to turn her life around, Marina chooses sobriety, forcing her to confront emotions she’s never processed. Ethan, fighting a life-changing medical diagnosis, is trying to hold everything together for the people he loves—including a daughter he’s desperate to protect. As Marina and Ethan cling to each other through late-night conversations, shared memories, and unexpected chaos, outside forces threaten to pull them apart.
When Ethan’s manipulative ex-wife suddenly resurfaces seeking money and control, drama erupts, pushing Marina and Ethan to face their biggest test yet. But in the middle of the wild twists, new beginnings, and the possibility of loss, Marina discovers something she never expected: strength. And Ethan finds the one person who makes him feel truly seen.
Their love story is messy, healing, heartbreaking, and full of hope—proof that even when life falls apart, you can still choose each other.
