Salty A Novel

From the bestselling author of Excavations comes a wickedly funny novel about sibling rivalry, yacht life, and revenge served ice-cold in the Caribbean sun.

Captain Denise has one ironclad rule: never mix with the yacht owners. She’s spent years navigating turquoise waters and entitled guests with equal skill, keeping her head down and her fists up when necessary. But when her walking-disaster sister Helen shows up—freshly fired and burning every bridge behind her—Denise’s carefully controlled world starts taking on water.

Their first charter together? The Falcon family, the ruthless real estate developers who bulldozed the sisters’ childhood home to build luxury condos. It’s personal. It’s awkward. And when a dead body surfaces next to the Falcons’ latest collapsed building, it becomes downright dangerous.

Kate Myers delivers a deliciously salty tale of sisterhood, class warfare, and maritime mayhem. Between the uptight yacht concierge looking for love in all the wrong places, the naive bride-to-be who has no idea what family she’s marrying into, and two sisters who can barely stand each other but might just save the day, Salty is a hilarious page-turner that asks: how low will people sink to stay afloat?

Perfect for fans of sharp contemporary fiction with bite, humor, and heart. This is women’s fiction that refuses to play nice—and you’ll love every minute of it.
