Two hot men. One deserted tropical island.
Carefree Adam Bennet comes from a long line of earthy people— gardeners, herbalists, hippies, and farmers. His grandmother taught him and his brothers to live off the land, to heal themselves, and above all, to trust their intuition about a person or situation.
Mr. Don’t-Touch-Me Wade O’Rourke wouldn’t dream of something so pedestrian as living off the land. His family is monied, and formal. Taking his place in his uncle’s company is the thing to do— never mind that he hates his life, and he has reasons to hate his uncle, too.
When Wade and Adam meet on an airplane they don’t quite hit it off. But they’re the only two survivors of a crash landing on an island paradise, they have to join forces to survive.
Will Adam take a chance on love with the seemingly straight man? Underneath Wade's business suit, which he once wore like armor against intimacy, is a hard body and a tender heart.
When love blossoms, can it survive the rescue and return to their American small town?
This full-length, standalone novel contains:
Tropical fruit too juicy to just eat.
A man damaged by his homophobic upbringing.
Steamy man on man love action and a happy ending.
Exclusive Excerpt
Adam sunk to his knees. “This ends the sum total of my experience on what to do now.”
Wade pivoted and went to the rocky
outcropping. He returned with a small hand-sized rock. “You didn’t learn to
fish while you were studying with this mentor of yours?”
“Her husband handled all that. I just
learned to appreciate her cooking talents.”
“Then I will clean, and you can cook.”
He wasn’t a vegetarian, but Adam had to
avert his eyes when he saw what Wade was going to do. Taking life, in any
manner, wasn’t pleasant and it hurt Adam to think about it. It was a necessity,
or else they both risked starving. It didn’t make it any less unpleasant.
Wade stopped short of the first kill.
“Adam,” he said in a very patient voice, “why don’t you go back to check on the
fire and stoke it up so we can cook them when I’m done?”
Thankful for the reprieve, Adam nodded and
rose to his feet. “You may want to take them to the rocks, so you don’t get
fish guts all over your shirt.”
“You mean our new fishing net.”
By the time the fish were done, stuck on
sticks and roasted over the fire, the scent of fish made Adam’s stomach feel
ready to chew its way out of his body. “I never thought fish would make me this
hungry.”
Wade tapped and tested one of the small fish
on a stick, then pulled it off the fire, handing it to Adam. “You get to be the
official taste tester.”
“Fair enough.” Adam took the offered fish
and delicately pulled at it with two fingers. It was hot, and it looked cooked,
which was a good thing because Adam could’ve choked down raw fish at that
point. He took a small nibble and rolled his eyes. “Holy shit, Wade. I don’t
think I’ve ever tasted fish this good.”
Wade took another stick from the fire and
pulled the fish off it. “Just as long as the fish don’t turn out to be
poisonous.”
“Then I’ll die happy,” Adam said around a
mouthful of fish.
And he’d die happy at this dinner with a
view because Wade still hadn’t put his shirt back on.
