In the charming coastal town of Blue Harbor, set against the backdrop of the early 1990s, lives Maya Thompson, a passionate Black marine biologist dedicated to the study and preservation of the ocean's delicate ecosystems. Nearby, Noah Carter, a carefree White surfer, spends his days riding the waves and embracing the laid-back beach lifestyle. When Noah discovers an injured sea turtle tangled in discarded fishing nets and brings it to Maya for help, their worlds collide, sparking an unexpected connection between them. As their friendship deepens, Maya and Noah find themselves drawn to each other, bridging the gap between their different lives. However, their growing relationship faces a significant hurdle: the social and cultural expectations of their small, tight-knit community, where interracial relationships are still met with skepticism and disapproval. With the added pressure from their families-Maya's concerned about her career and the potential backlash, and Noah's parents wary of him stepping outside the conventional path-they must navigate a wave of challenges to prove that love knows no boundaries. Together, they will have to decide if their bond is strong enough to withstand the tides of change or if the expectations of their community will pull them apart.

What the fuck do you want?"I asked. "Get dressed we're going out"he says. "Hell nah, I ain't going no where"I say going back to my room. All I want to do is sleep and I won't let anybody stop me. I feel a muscular hand snake around my waist pulling me out of my room. "I can't fall asleep so you can't sleep too!" He says forcefully. "I hate you!" I scream. "No you don't, you adore me" he chuckles "Keep dreaming boy" I wanted him to let go of me, not because I didn't like it but because his touch, was driving me insane. It felt great and I can't afford to fall for him, I mean look at him who wouldn't fall for that handsome face and crazy person but that was problem. I'm not his type. He turned me around and this time I was facing him, our eyes met and I couldn't deny it, it felt great to be in his arms. His eyes lowered and fell on my lips. Before I could even say my name, he kisses me. My eyes widened in shocked but I gave in and wrapped my arms around his neck, closing my eyes. God damn!his lips are soft. It was slow and gentle, his hands moved to my face as he increased the pace. My hands moved to his soft black hair. God! I've always wanted to touch it I let out a moan and he slipped his tongue in making the kiss hotter. It was the best feeling on earth. We both pulled away at the same time, panting. Damon and Scarlet, two different people brought together by fate but separated by life. Will they find each other again and just live with the memories of what that had??
