Description

A Tidewater Short Story. Contemporary, Stand alone, HEA.

Elias lives for the waves. He’s been surf­ing off the Tidewater coast since he could crawl, and the con­nec­tion he’s forged with the ocean is fun­da­men­tal. Every morn­ing he shares a rit­u­al swim with the local pod of dol­phins. Elias is des­per­ate to find a way to express what the sand and the sea mean to him, and local artist Theo could be just what he needs.

Theo’s art has helped him move moun­tains. It grant­ed him free­dom from abu­sive fam­i­ly and sup­ports his qui­et lifestyle. He’s ready for more. So when mus­cle-bound Elias com­mis­sions him for a mur­al on his bed­room wall, Theo has more than one rea­son to take the job. It’s time to reach with his heart, an easy thing when Elias is so eager to share what’s in his.

Water is essen­tial when paint­ing, and col­or is what brings the ocean to life. Elias and Theo were made for each oth­er. It’s only a mat­ter of time before Tidewater brings them together.
