Tate's sixteen-year-long relationship capsized: instead of happy ever after, he's left with bitterness and self-doubt. Emotionally adrift, the 38-year-old is drowning his fears of a lonely future at the bottom of a wine glass. But his L.A. rental in the hills comes with a gorgeous guy next door: med student Kai's home for the summer, and he's angling for an invite into Tate's pool.

Kai's charmingly persuasive, even though Tate's sure that, by saying yes, he's damning himself to a season of unrequited lust for a man a decade and a half his junior. But Kai's offer of swimming tuition leads to lessons out of the water, too.

The sex is incredible, but Kai's talent for cracking Tate's emotional lockdown is even better. Haunted by his own mistakes, Tate could look past the age gap, but life outside their bubble can't be held at arm's length forever. As summer's end nears, can their fling ever survive the real world, and does free-spirited Kai even want it to?

"Bodies Of Water" is a high-heat M/M age gap romance, intended for adult readers.
