Hunter Ward's planning the perfect spring break: just him, his best friend Valentine, and Valentine's cat Grandpa, drifting through the waves off Key West. Unfortunately, things never go according to plan. He'd never planned to fall for Valentine. Never planned for Valentine to touch him. to kiss him, to ride the electric charge between them to start something neither could ever have imagined. Never planned for the boat to get stranded, isolating them together as if it was meant to be. Never planned for Grandpa the cat to start hacking up all over the boat, bringing that breathless moment of first discovery to an end. The cat means everything to Valentine. But this possibility with Valentine means everything to Hunter, and the moment they call the Coast Guard for rescue his father will find out he'd taken the boat out on a forbidden tryst with another man. One whiff of their relationship and Hunter could lose everything—his inheritance, his family's support. Yet when his hesitations hurt Valentine deeply enough to drive him away, Hunter has to make a choice. Is he willing to chase the man he loves, or is he only brave enough to chase the sea?
