Once in the Alaskan wilderness by an ancient artifact on a dig and now again in Hawaii by the spirited local beauty Kealani Mahelona.After the last few grueling months of his PhD, Emmett is treating himself to a month of relaxation in Hawaii. He is taken by surprise after literally bumping into Kealani in a fishery where she is completing her zoology internship. He is immediately taken with this bubbly creature when she unexpectedly asks him to brunch. Kea is not sure what to make of this Alaskan mystery man. He clearly has a secret he is not telling her, which only makes her want him more.

Attraction and confusion plague the pair as his time on the island dwindles. He wants her. She wants him. Both have reservations about the relationship and for good reason. The more their differences clash, the more doubt creeps in. Is the shifter life for someone who's merely curious? Maybe. Maybe not.Will his secret destroy them or or will she destroy his secret?
