In the blink of an eye, Hudson ‘Riptide’ Ripley's career as a Naval Aviation Rescue Swimmer was over. Becoming a civilian so soon wasn’t in his plans. Moving to St. Simons Island was supposed to be his chance at starting over. His former commander and best friend gave him a place to stay—giving him time to figure out what was next.

He wasn't looking for complications, especially one in the form of his best friend’s much younger daughter. But the chemistry was too much to deny, and Hudson crosses a line he can’t undo. Caught between what’s right and what he wants, he’ll have to decide… fight the current that’s dragging him under or let go and risk everything. A split-second decision might have cost him his career in the Navy, but this time, it’ll cost him more.

This time, it’s going to cost Hudson his heart.

Caught in the Riptide is part of the Dad’s Best Friend series, featuring deliciously taboo steamy age gap insta-love romances.
