Rogue Wave - Jolie, Isabel

. .

Résumé :
Sometimes, out of nowhere, comes the rogue wave... You can ride it, or get pulled under. I roamed the untamed ocean. Set out to play hero conservationist. Those high seas? They remain lawless for many reasons. Over ten years, I saw the worst that humanity has to offer. And accomplished... nothing. The futility of it all left me disillusioned. Numb. I returned to the island of my childhood summers. All I wanted was to lick my wounds. Hide. Regroup. Like a rogue wave, an idealistic beauty thrust herself into my world. Tells me we can make a difference. We can save the oceans. We're one with the sea. Her naivety might be charming if it wasn't like looking in a time-warped mirror. Her natural beauty might be appealing if she wasn't a college student. The last thing she needs is a summer romance with a burned-out wreck like me. She's too young. She's got everything in front of her. And me? I've got commitments. And a past. She promises release. No need for guilt. I aim for the crest, for a smooth, fun ride. Unfortunately, my past comes calling, and we both get pulled under. A contemporary romance standalone novel about two idealistic souls finding their way in a less than perfect world. A delicious age-gap romance featuring two marine biologists with a desire to save the oceans, an unexpected adoption, and a resort island with a small town atmosphere. The standalone contemporary romance novel is the first in the Haven Island series, an island where people come to shelter, right off the coast of North Carolina....
