“You know, sometimes it’s the unexpected destinations that end up taking you exactly where you’re meant to be.”

Fresh off a toxic divorce, Milwaukee native Hannah books a solo escape to Cancun—the perfect post-breakup remedy to rediscover her independence and start fresh. But her plans go sideways the minute she steps off the plane.

A spontaneous off-resort boat trip leaves her stranded on a remote island with three strangers—and at the mercy of the island’s harsh conditions and one maddeningly capable survival partner: Slater Johns.

He’s rugged, bossy, and dangerously charming—the exact type of man she’s sworn off. But as the heat rises and their connection grows, Hannah is forced to confront more than just the elements. Slater isn’t like her ex. In fact, he might be the only man who’s ever made her feel safe enough to be her true self.

Back at the resort, the chemistry doesn't fade. But when the vacation ends, will he remain part of her story . . . or become just another unexpected destination along her travels?
