One touch. One storm. One heatwave they never saw coming.
On the sun-drenched island of Sainte-Margot, solitude was all Daniel Voss came for. A burned-out trauma nurse, he wants silence—not surf lessons, not sunshine, and definitely not the barefoot lifeguard who keeps showing up wherever he goes.
But Thierry Batiste is impossible to ignore. Bright, fearless, infuriatingly warm, he crashes through Daniel’s emotional defenses like a wave—slow, relentless, and inevitable.
What follows is a slow-burn M/M romance filled
🌊 A guarded hero trying to outrun his past
🔥 A bold local lifeguard who lives like nothing can break him
💫 Tropical heat, salt-slick skin, and hammock-swaying seduction
💔 Emotional flashbacks, buried grief, and second chances
❤️ A storm-drenched kiss that changes everything
As the island draws them closer, Daniel must keep hiding—or surrender to the kind of heat that might just heal him.
