Rogue Wave. Haven Island Series, #1

One rogue wave can change everything... I spent a decade fighting corruption on the high seas, until the darkness nearly drowned me. Now I've retreated to Haven Island, North Carolina, seeking shelter in the place where I spent my childhood summers. All I want is solitude to piece myself back together. Then she crashes into my world-a marine biology student with sun-kissed skin and dreams as vast as the ocean.
She believes we can make a difference, just like I once did. Her passion threatens to wake something I thought was dead inside me. I know better than to let her close. She's too young, too innocent, and I'm too damaged. But when shadows from my past resurface, threatening everything we've built, I'll have to decide: protect her by pushing her away, or risk it all to ride this wave together. A sizzling age-gap romance featuring two marine biologists, an unexpected adoption, and a resort island where people come to heal.
