One came to Port Isle to find themselves. The other came to outrun their grief. What neither was expected was to find each other.

Sydney Marie Blanks has spent her entire life being everything to everyone, but the last six years have drained her. She’s forgotten how to be herself. When the family she’s been holding together surprises her with a vacation to Port Isle, an exclusive island getaway, Sydney only has one goal: to finally just live…for once in her life.

She wasn’t expecting Roderic “Roc” Long.

Roc has spent the last four years trying to outrun his grief with purpose, work, and being the best father he knows how to be with the absence of his own. But when his family books a solo trip for him to Port Isle, he arrives carrying too much grief to even allow himself to appreciate the adventure. He’s left alone to deal with the fact that he hasn’t felt anything since the day he buried his fiancée.

He wasn’t expecting Sydney either. One week. One island. Two people who needed an escape and ended up finding each other instead. Between open water, sunset dinners, and a bar called Noir—where Mai Tais turn into maybes—Syd and Roc learn that the things you never see coming are often the ones the water brings in. And sometimes the thing you’ve been running from and the thing you’ve been running toward are closer than you ever imagined.

Mai Tais & Maybes. Some things were always meant to find you.
