[Drenaline Surf Novella 02] • Chasing Aloha

Finally back in his home state of Hawaii, Kale Nakoa hopes to find a second chance, but the gossip around his circumstances follows him like a shadow, haunting every opportunity to reinvent his life. Between community service and hiding from news reporters, there's no time to reconnect with his old friends and definitely not a moment to reconnect with the ocean. The surf ache is wearing on him, but he's not sure if he's worthy of the lineup again.

Leilani DeCosta has heard the whispers, but she doesn't want to believe that her childhood neighbor has become a hardened criminal. After all, he was the one who helped her conquer her fear of the ocean and taught her how to surf. She wants to know his side of the story and see if the grom she always knew is still somewhere beneath the surface.

When the childhood friends cross paths, Kale is reluctant to let Leilani in, but she's determined to prove that the aloha spirit is still alive and that happy endings aren't just found in books.
