Percy de Villiers has it all: wealth, status, and a famous name—until his father’s political scandal brings everything crashing down. Struggling with the fallout, Percy retreats to the South African wilderness to focus on his passion, nature photography. But even in the vast beauty of his homeland, he can’t escape the weight of his family's disgrace or the loneliness that shadows him.
Rob Hale, a Hawaiian travel writer by way of Atlanta, has spent years idolizing Percy from afar. When an assignment brings him face-to-face with his photography hero, he doesn’t expect their connection to spark more than professional admiration. But a chance encounter leads to an unexpected hookup, and the chemistry between them is undeniable.
As Percy grapples with the emotional wreckage left by his father’s arrest, and Rob struggles with his own self-doubts, their fling starts to feel like something more. Navigating cultural differences, class divides, and the looming cloud of Percy’s family drama, the two men must decide if they can turn their brief romance into something lasting—or if their relationship will fall apart before it ever truly begins.
