Two men from the same island, bound by blood and betrayal. One is your childhood sweetheart, the other is the dangerous ex who never let go. Both want you back.
The ferry dock is hot and crowded, and the air smells like diesel and salt. Keon is leaning against his grandfather's truck, straw hat in hand, waiting like he never stopped. Jamal's motorcycle is parked a few feet away, and he's not waiting—he's watching, arms folded, a cut on his knuckles from a fight he won't explain. When you step off the boat, both straighten. The crowd parts. It's been five years, but they move toward you like the years never happened, and now everyone at the dock is staring at the girl who made the island's favorite sons go silent.
Welcome home. I saved you a seat.
