About this listen

This is the FoxTales edition of the book previously published by Samhain Publishing. Other than the cover art and description, the book is the same.

Thomas Penrose is a village doctor in rural Cornwall. Popular with patients and friends alike, and handsome into the bargain, he lives in a romantic clifftop tower by the sea. It's a wonderful life - if only Dr. Tom could enjoy it. He's a veteran of the conflict in Afghanistan, fighting a lonely battle against alcoholism and PTSD.

Determined not to inflict his troubles on anyone else, Tom keeps himself to himself. But fate has other ideas, and brings a handsome surfer crashing to his feet after a dreadful wipe-out on Porth Beach. Just another crazy surf bunny? Not a bit of it - Flynn Summers is one of Cornwall's heroes, a fearless search-and-rescue helicopter man. Why is he risking his beautiful neck in the stormy off-season waves?

Despite the rocky beginning, Tom and Flynn become friends. Both are concealing sorrows behind a tough façade, and for once in his life Tom thinks he's met someone who can handle him, shadow-side and all. But Flynn isn't a free man. He's unhappily locked into a bond of obligations and bad memories with formidable pilot Rob Tremaine - and Rob has no intention of letting Flynn go.

As Tom and Flynn begin their high-risk, high-reward romance, will the tides of the past sweep in to destroy their new love?

Evocative romantic suspense set on the rugged Cornish coast! Tom Penrose is the reclusive doctor in a small Cornish village, struggling with alcoholism and PTSD after his tours of duty in Afghanistan. One morning out walking his dog, Tom rescues a daredevil surfer from the wild seas. An ex-Naval helicopter pilot, Flynn Summers is part of the search-and-rescue team, suffering from his own demons, and jealously guarded by his aggressively overbearing boyfriend, Rob Tremaine. Tom and Flynn can feel their mutual attraction, which puts them both in Rob’s firing line. Typical of Harper Fox, the writing was beautiful! I really loved the descriptions of Cornwall and the big seas, I liked the personal journey each man took on their road to recovery and love, and I was captivated by the ominous atmosphere surrounding them. UK voice artist Chris Clog gave a perfect narration - Harper’s prose sounds all the more poetic on his tongue (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

Another great story by Harper Fox. Love the adventure that brings the men together. It has more storyline and less sappy romance.

Great story

Four damaged men weave their way through a story of PTSD and crippling guilt. Even the dog has issues. They help each other find their way through the various messes of their lives. Some through gentle, but undeniable passion; some through sadistic control and guilt induced masochism - not all of them survive to find their salvation.
Complex and charismatic characters - plus great story.

A gripping story of redemption
