    About this ebook

    Rainn may fear tropical storms more than anything, but his love of flowers has landed him a gardening position on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Loneliness leads him to take tours with breathtakingly handsome local guide, Sam.

    Sam is taken with Rainn, but not at all with the planned hotel where Rainn works as a gardener. Windemere Resorts is quietly destroying Dominica’s natural beauty, and now Sam and his friends hope Rainn will help them obtain information they need to stop the hotel from being finished.

    Rainn wants Sam badly, but what if he’s being used? An out-of-season hurricane bearing down on the island makes his worst fear a reality, and now he must decide if he should break the law for Sam. Can he trust Sam with his heart and body?

      Hurricanes and Rainn

      By Gavin Atlas

      There he was, the guide from Dominica Paradise Tours, and perhaps one of the handsomest men Rainn had ever seen. Strong chested, broad shoulders, caramel skin, and a brilliant smile. The guide recognized Rainn this time. After all, the minibus only seated ten, and this was Rainn’s third tour. The guide smiled and scratched his chin. The smile reached his eyes, and Rainn felt weak.

      Come sit up here by me, the guide said, his bronze face beaming. He moved some papers and patted the seat to his left. Rainn felt his stomach go fluttery, bit his lip, and moved past the other tourists. Rainn did not feel he handled loneliness well, and his time in Dominica had been the loneliest he could remember. Even this small act of companionship soothed him.

      Sam, isn’t it? Rainn asked. Rainn mentally kicked himself. How disingenuous could he be? Of course, he knew the guide’s name. He’d requested to be on Sam’s tour the last time. And this time.

      Sam grinned. Um, yes. That’s me. And you are?

      Rainn.

      Sam gave him a mischievous, lop-sided smile as if he could read Rainn’s thoughts of the tour guide ravishing him. The look disappeared, and Sam stuck out his hand. Rainn is a good name for Dominica. Pleased to meet you, my friend. Though we have met before, I believe.

      Yes, actually. I, uh, I’m learning a lot.

      Sam winked. That is good because, for you, there will be a quiz later. He narrowed his eyebrows. You’ve been here more than a week, haven’t you? And you’re American?

      Yes.

      Sam stroked his chin. A longer vacation? Or have you moved here?

      Oh, well, not a vacation but I’m not here permanently either.

      Perhaps a medical student then?

      Rainn looked down. Oh, gosh no. I didn’t even get through college.

      Sam nodded but didn’t respond. The last of the other tourists had settled into their seats, and Sam began his tour. He talked about the history of French and English rule and of native Kalinago still living on part of the island. Soon they reached an overlook where the tourists could take pictures of their cruise ships and the colorful town of Roseau. Sam stepped out of the bus with the group.

      So,
