She’s chasing the rarest discovery of her career. He’s chasing redemption through the waves. Together, they might find more than just sharks in deep waters.

Marine biologist Leilani Walker has spent years tracking a single female shark, determined to be the first scientist to document a wild pregnancy and birth from start to finish. But when funding for her PhD research is pulled just before the final phase, her dream—and years of dedication—are about to vanish beneath the tide.

Enter Bhodi Farr: a former professional surfer, now a viral extreme sports creator with a million followers and a reputation for impulsive stunts. Leilani wants nothing to do with him—or the flashy film crew that comes with him. But when her advisor arranges for Bhodi’s team to fund her expedition in exchange for exclusive cage dive footage, she’s forced to open her boat, and her work, to everything she despises about internet fame.

Bhodi might be a grinning pretty boy with a camera always rolling, but beneath the charming exterior is a man who’s quietly funding ocean conservation efforts, haunted by the past, and searching for purpose beyond the next thrill.
In the shadow of surf and science, storms and sharks, what starts as irritation sparks into tension, and then into something undeniably electric. Leilani will have to decide whether to guard her heart—or dive headfirst into the one current she never expected.

A grumpy-sunshine, age gap, enemies-to-lovers romance set on the high seas—perfect for fans of STEM heroines, open-door chemistry, and swoony, salt-soaked slow burns.
