The Scent Of Salt

The Scent of Salt is a romantic and dramatic novel, sensual and cinematic, that weaves passion, suspense and mystery into an adult love story — forbidden and impossible to forget. Two lives that are perfect only in appearance. Two families. A forbidden encounter destined to change everything. In Porto Sanvelio, a seaside city where the wind brings even the deepest secrets to the surface, Lorenzo Valenti and Elena Roversi meet by chance in front of their children's school gate. He is married and the father of two daughters. She is married and the mother of two children. They should remain nothing more than two ordinary parents, bound by a trivial school friendship. But something irresistible stirs between them. One glance too many. An unexpected message. A desire that breaks the silence of two marriages long since hollowed out. What seemed like a simple attraction soon transforms into an absolute love — sensual, forbidden. A love capable of sweeping away every certainty. But as Lorenzo and Elena seek refuge in each other, her past begins to resurface with all its darkness: a brother who died in suspicious circumstances, hidden documents, anonymous threats, a scarred man watching from the shadows, and a husband who perhaps knows far more than he has ever let on. Between passion and betrayal, fear and desire, lies and buried truths, the two lovers must choose whether to renounce themselves or leave everything behind and follow their love to the furthest edge of the sea. An intense, elegant and deeply romantic novel, where forbidden love meets mystery, suspense and the courage to begin again.
