What It Means To Us

Miles: Ocean conservation is my calling, I’m here to protect the water, not fall for the locals. But when I’m assigned to a Santa Cruz outreach program, I can’t ignore the pull between me and Liv. Or the way her best friend, Jacob, looks at me like he already knows all my secrets. I’m not here to be shared or fall for the local poly lifestyle. I just want to do my job. So why does it feel like they’re about to ruin me?

Liv: I’ve run the Cruz Volunteer Hub for years, and I’ve never felt anything like this. Not until Miles stormed in with that serious face and rigid rules. Jacob and I both feel it, something electric. We’ve been best friends forever, waiting for someone like him. And once he lets go, we’ll show him how good surrender can feel.

Jacob: I’ve never really understood why Liv wanted more than one partner. Until Miles. He’s tense, stubborn, completely thrown off by how drawn we are to him. But from the moment we meet, I know he belongs with us.

The Cruz Shorts are high-heat, short why choose romances, each 14,000 words or less. These steamy, passionate stories follow three people meant to be together, delivering a happy-for-now ending every time. While interconnected, each book can be read as a standalone.
