Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Salvage by Anbara Salam. Set in 1962, the story follows Marta Khoury, a pioneering marine archaeologist summoned to Cairnroch, a remote island off Scotland’s east coast. A Victorian shipwreck has surfaced from arctic waters, carrying the remains of a famed explorer and the relics of his final journey. But during her first dive, Marta glimpses a shadowy figure among the wreckage, something she can’t explain.
As the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolds and a brutal winter traps her on the island, Marta grows close to Elsie, a hotel worker with secrets of her own. When the ship’s artefacts mysteriously vanish, the two women must navigate the freezing terrain to recover them before anyone else notices. But Marta is being followed by something she can’t quite name. Is it guilt from a past mistake, a trick of the mind, or a darker force tied to the wreck? Whatever it is, it threatens to entomb Marta, Elsie, and the island’s buried truths in a frozen silence.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Madam Muldoon's Garden by E.V. Sparrow. Orla Muldoon is eighteen and on the verge of being exposed. But she’s convinced America will offer her the freedom she’s never had, a place where misfits like her, with peach-colored hair and unsettling eyes, can reinvent themselves. Her da always said she was clever, clever enough to outshine beauty. Maybe clever enough to escape the fate that the Saints seemed to mock her with.
She’s heard the stories: in America, women own businesses, shape their own destinies. Orla plans to pour every coin she’s earned into building something of her own, assuming divine wrath doesn’t strike her down first.
Meanwhile, John Murphy lives quietly, content in the life he’s built. No one knows who he really is, and the men around him are too blinded by gold to ask. He’s not like them. He sees everything. And he’s not about to let anyone ruin the peace he’s fought to keep.
