Now that the tiny vaquita porpoises are endangered, Cassie knows she’s their only hope. The one thing she hadn’t counted on is Alex Ramos, the resort builder, showing up on her beach. Alejandro moved away long ago from his beloved beaches on the Sea of Cortez and has no desire to re-open the wounds he found at the sea. The sea that brought him peace, yet broke his heart. Now that he’s back—and not by choice—the sun and the sea wash over him again with a familiar serenity. As his family’s billion-dollar company moves forward with plans for a resort on the soft, sandy dunes, he must keep his heart in check and do what is expected—even if it means obliterating the breeding grounds of the porpoises he swam with as a boy. Can Cassie remind Alejandro what Vaquita Beach means to him in time to give it a fighting chance?
