Summary
Before the island, Ralph and Jack share a secret; they are drawn to each other in ways they cannot name aloud. But when they are stranded together, survival and leadership tear them apart; their forbidden love is forced into hiding.
Years after rescue, they struggle to rekindle what they once had, but fear, societal expectation, and timing stand in the way. As they navigate careers, relationships, and the passage of time, their bond burns quietly, dangerously, and tragically.
A slowburn, enemies-to-lovers/enemies and lovers, romance spanning a decade, set in the late ’60s– early ’80s, with emotional tension, heartbreak, and love that cannot be extinguished.
