The Ones We Couldn't Save · Book 5

I just got onto my brother’s best friend’s yacht wearing nothing but his t-shirt. Crew Maddox—ocean golden boy, world-famous conservationist, and the first boy I ever saved— hasn’t looked at me in years. Not really. Not since the storm that stole everything. Now he’s back. Injured. Alone. Asking me to join him at sea like it doesn’t wreck me just to breathe the same salt-thick air. I told myself I’d keep it professional. But then the sun set. Then he anchored in the cove. And when he pulled me into his lap, his voice broke as he whispered, “You have no idea how bad I want you… no… I need you.”
