H₂O = hero + heroine + …octopus?
A scheduling screw-up strands uptight marine biologist Isabel Wright and tattooed wildlife photographer Wes Monaghan at the same California beach house. She needs a U.S. visa—now. He needs a boat and a date to his family’s holiday party.
What they get: a fake relationship that turns eight levels of complicated after they accidentally acquire joint custody of an octopus.
Can their agreement not to catch feelings survive sunset picnics, predatory gulls, bioluminescent skinny-dipping, and an investigation into a shady ocean research lab?
Or will their charming cephalopod and their own hearts sucker Wes and Isabel into diving straight into love?
