Salustiano Varkas is a man who built an empire on calculated coldness and unyielding power. To the world, he is a titan of industry, but to his enemies, he is a target. When a high-stakes betrayal leaves his fleet in ruins and his life hanging by a thread, he is discarded and washed up like broken driftwood on the jagged shores of a remote coastal village. Sunnira Meranda "Summer" Dela Cruz is the village's fiercest secret. An orphan who raised her younger brother and herself on the rhythm of the tides, she isn't intimidated by much. She knows every hidden cove and knows exactly how to handle the storms, both on the ocean and in her life. When Summer finds a man broken, bloodied, and barely breathing on her shoreline, her instinct isn't to run, but for him to survive. She drags him into her modest shack, expecting nothing but a heavy burden. But as Salustiano awakens, stripped of his security detail and his suit, the two worlds collide. He is a predator forced into the company of someone who doesn't fear his bite. She is the anchor he never knew he needed. In the quiet intensity of the island, where status means nothing and the sea dictates the rules, the billionaire will learn that while he was a master of his own empire, he is completely at the mercy of the girl who saved his life. After a lifetime of commanding others, has the beast finally found his master? Santi x Summer
