Mr. Don't-Touch-Me Wade O'Rourke has never allowed anyone to get close to his heart, or into his bed. Perhaps he's not wired that way. He's not gay. He was brought up to know it's not possible in his family. But he's not attracted to women either. He keeps up appearances for the sake of his family because it's the thing to do- never mind his family traumas or that he hates his life. And he has reasons to hate his homophobic uncle, too.
Outgoing, optimistic, and carefree Adam Bennet comes from a long line of earthy people- gardeners and farmers. After his parents died, he was raised by his wise grandmother. He helps her run her shop.
When Wade and Adam meet on an airplane, they don't quite hit it off. They survive a crash landing on an island paradise where they have to join forces to survive. Will Adam take a chance on love with the seemingly straight man? When love blossoms, can it survive the rescue and return to their American small town?
