When Isla Bennett boards a flight to the Caribbean, she expects escape.
She gets disaster.
After a devastating crash into the ocean, Isla and former Coast Guard rescue swimmer Knox Wilder are the only survivors. They cling to debris, drift through the burning sea, and wash onto a deserted island with no food, no shelter, and no rescue in sight.
Knox is all control, command, and buried guilt.
Isla is grief, fury, and hope with teeth.
They're strangers. Enemies. The last two people alive.
And the island will test every part of them.
As the days stretch into months, survival forces them together. Wound care turns intimate. Body heat turns dangerous. Hatred turns into desire neither of them can deny. And in the middle of storms, hunger, and failed rescue attempts, Isla and Knox find something neither of them was looking for.
Love.
But when they are finally rescued after 183 days, the real world is waiting with cameras, questions, and doubts.
Were they in love?
Or just surviving?
Isla knows the answer.
And the tiny heartbeat inside her may be the only proof she needs.
