Search and rescue pilot Rayne Lee is leaving the Coast Guard and heading to Eden, Alaska, to reconnect with the foster sister he hasn't seen since childhood. In addition to piloting the helicopter that brings travelers and supplies to and from the town, Rayne takes a second job leading eco-friendly tours of the breathtaking Alaska scenery. However, his plan for a peaceful, new life is thrown into chaos when he discovers one of his fellow tour guides is Brandon Weaver—an infuriatingly gorgeous former rescue swimmer who was kicked out of the Coast Guard after a mission Rayne led turned into a disaster. Brandon Weaver thought Eden, Alaska, was the one place he could go to escape the memories of his failed military career – and the disappointment of his father, a well-respected admiral, who always wanted Brandon to follow in his footsteps. But leaving the Coast Guard behind isn’t as easy as he hoped. His parents are planning their first visit in years, and his new coworker is his former commander Rayne Lee, who didn't lift a finger to help Brandon in the hearing that cost him his career. And worse, Rayne is just as handsome as he was years ago. Rayne's guilt over the incident and Brandon's anger at his dismissal make their reunion a tense one...until their old attraction becomes too difficult to ignore. Eden is a m/m, second-chance romance featuring an emotionally stunted helicopter pilot, a cocky rescue swimmer turned tour guide, found family, an adorable giant dog, and learning that sometimes confronting the past is the only way to find the perfect future.
