He's on his way to a remote island, where he's planning to spend the summer taking care of a beach house that's been loaned to him by his best friend's family. His friend just happened to leave out [i]one important detail[/i] about the island. Despite traveling with the intention of getting away for a while in order to work on recovering and moving on from a recently-ended engagement, he's now thrown into a world for which he is radically unprepared, and has to realize the cultural differences of this resort and its inhabitants against his own assumptions, prejudice, and understandings. On the island, he meets a female Lutrai (Rikia) and her son (Tempesta), who live separately from the tribe, to better keep Rikia's secret about her son at bay.\n\n---\n\n[i][b]The Beach House[/b][/i] is a heartfelt erotic romance story about a bear's ongoing struggle with mental health and taboo sexual and romantic desires. It follows the bear's journey of rediscovering his capacity for trust, honesty, intimacy and love in the wake of a devastating breakup, all filtered through the lens of the [i]Before the Fall[/i] universe.\n\nAs always I welcome and am absolutely thrilled to receive any feedback you might have - I work hard to integrate my readers' feedback as well as I can into my work!"
