One hot summer night, he was my first, but my small town hero has a secret: he’s a sea monster!
My fiance is cheating, our wedding is cancelled and I can’t face going back to Sydney to a life I never wanted. When I run to my parents’ holiday home at Kraken Cove rather than face reality, those hot summer memories all come flooding back.
And when it turns out the builder we hired to renovate is my long lost first love, Luke, we reconnect and it’s hotter than ever. When Luke touches me, it’s like I’ve always been his. He knows all the ways to set me on fire and have me begging for more. He’s like the handyman for my heart, someone whose smile makes me feel like everything’s going to be OK.
But we’re from two different worlds, literally! He’s a kraken, tied to the sea and to his family. All too soon I’ll have to go back. Back to Sydney and the job I hate, and constant pressure from my parents to be someone I’m not. If only I could find a way to escape to Kraken Cove forever.
