Milan Delos was never meant to come back.
Not to the coastal town where the waves crash into each other like mortal nemesis. But after a quiet disaster forces him to leave the life he built, he agrees to a marine research internship in the one place he thought he'd escaped for good.
He doesn't expect to run into Ryle Ventris-tattooed, tanned, and twice as reckless as he remembers.His neighbour whom he considers nothing more than an annoying existence.
The boy who used to pick fights with him under sunburned skies is now the golden heir to a wine empire. Ryle is cocky, magnetic, and haunted by his past as well as present. And while Milan wants order and distance, Ryle only knows how to ruin everything he touches.
They're forced to work together-tides, data, long dives, and late nights-and what starts as reluctant teamwork bleeds into something slower, messier, and terrifyingly intimate.
Because under all that sun and salt, Ryle is unraveling.
And Milan might be the only one who sees it.
But love, like the ocean, comes with a warning.
It pulls you under. And it doesn't always let you up.
