Set among the sunny marinas and salt-air coastlines of San Diego, Wanderer is an emotional, slow-burn MM romance about healing, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to chart a new course.
Two young men from opposite sides of San Diego never expected a rundown sailboat to change their lives:
- Addison: Resilient, fiercely protective, and carrying the heavy weight of a privileged but broken family.
- Kieren: Endearing, open-hearted, and struggling with deep-seated childhood trauma he's kept hidden for years.
When an aging Catalina 30 sailboat named Wanderer brings them together, the boat quietly becomes a refuge, a classroom, and a catalyst for self-discovery. As Addison and Kieren navigate old wounds and uncertain futures, they discover that love isn't about finding someone who completes you-it's about finding someone who makes you feel safe enough to become who you were meant to be.
Why readers will love Wanderer:
- Hurt/Comfort & Healing: Deep emotional intimacy, mutual protection, and gentleness through past trauma.
- Opposites Attract & Found Family: Rich boy meets grounded heart-of-gold in a vivid San Diego setting.
- Sailing & Coastal Life: Richly detailed maritime setting in Ocean Beach and La Jolla.
- Guaranteed HEA: A heartwarming, satisfying Happily Ever After with zero cliffhangers.
Whether you've spent your life on the water or simply dreamed of casting off the lines, Wanderer is an unforgettable journey of resilience and the quiet freedom that comes from choosing your own horizon.
