Silent Harbor: A Quarantine Love Story

No one expected love to survive the quarantine.
No one expected the sea to remember.

When a humanitarian aid worker is detained aboard a quarantined cargo ship off a politically tense harbor, she finds herself at odds with the vessel's stoic captain, a man loyal to protocol, haunted by silence, and hiding more than one truth below deck.

What begins as a forced coexistence in the liminal space between nations quickly unravels into something deeper, as the two uncover a smuggling operation entangled with international quarantine law, corrupt maritime brokers, and a mystery buried in the ship's past.

As disease patrols the shore and memory stirs in the tides, a quiet intimacy grows between them, one built on shared isolation, buried grief, and the unrelenting pull of hope. But when the world demands sacrifice for the illusion of safety, they must decide: is love another form of containment or the only escape?

Set against the vast loneliness of the open sea and the stifling reality of bureaucratic confinement, Silent Harbor is a haunting, tender novel about memory, resistance, and the stories we carry when we have nowhere else to go.
