    About this ebook

    Travel agent Jarrett Joynson won’t let his cheating boyfriend spoil his dream vacation, but being alone in Hawaii is more difficult than he imagined. When his attempts to catch a new lover fail, he turns to his Wiccan faith to ask the moon for guidance.

    Shark shape-shifter Kainalu Enakai is in a similar position. His last relationship fell apart because he couldn’t share the truth with his boyfriend. Now Kainalu is on the prowl, looking for a new distraction.

    When the moon draws Jarrett and Kainalu together, sparks fly. But the old scars on both their hearts cause trouble between them. If they cannot learn to trust each other, it will put not only their relationship in danger, but possibly Jarrett’s life.

    A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2016 Daily Dose package "A Walk on the Wild Side".

      More Fish in the Sea

      By Fil Preis

      Travel agent Jarrett Joynson won’t let his cheating boyfriend spoil his dream vacation, but being alone in Hawaii is more difficult than he imagined. When his attempts to catch a new lover fail, he turns to his Wiccan faith to ask the moon for guidance.

      Shark shape-shifter Kainalu Enakai is in a similar position. His last relationship fell apart because he couldn’t share the truth with his boyfriend. Now Kainalu is on the prowl, looking for a new distraction.

      When the moon draws Jarrett and Kainalu together, sparks fly. But the old scars on both their hearts cause trouble between them. If they cannot learn to trust each other, it will put not only their relationship in danger, but possibly Jarrett’s life.

      JARRETT JOYNSON leaned on the balcony railing, watching the waxing moon rise over the crystal waters of the Pacific Ocean and wondering if he’d made a big mistake.

      The Hawaiian breeze smelled of sweet plumeria flowers. Jarrett felt comfortably warm in his newly purchased aloha shirt, khaki shorts, and sandals. Another day in paradise slowly turned into a hot tropical night. And Jarrett was in a luxury hotel suite… alone.

      He turned away from the fabulous view over the balcony. This trip was supposed to have been a romantic getaway with his long-term boyfriend, Bradan. Jarrett’s gaze fell on the big king-size bed, and his heart sank.

      He and Bradan had been seeing each other for almost two years, but over the past few months, Bradan had started hinting that he wanted something more. Jarrett, a travel agent for the rich and famous, knew exactly what to do. He had booked vacation time and used his work contacts to acquire this deluxe hotel room and two plane tickets to Hawaii. He’d wanted to visit Hawaii forever, and maybe, just maybe, Bradan might ask him to marry him.

      Jarrett had known that was a bit of a stretch, but there was no harm in a romantic fantasy. At the very least, he’d hoped to have some long heart-to-heart talks with Bradan in addition to their usual scorching sex.

      What he hadn’t understood was that when Bradan had said he wanted something more, he’d meant that he hadn’t wanted it with Jarrett.

      Bradan had always been a private person, and Jarrett had only recently discovered why. Jarrett hadn’t been the only guy on Bradan’s direct-dial. Now Bradan was dating the son of a CEO, a man in his early twenties with a fat trust fund and a reputation for a party lifestyle. Why would Bradan want to come to Hawaii with Jarrett when he could go on a Mediterranean cruise with a man who was younger, richer, and wilder?

      Jarrett sighed. He’d been fooling himself. He’d loved Bradan so much that he hadn’t questioned the secrecy in their relationship. He’d told himself that being with Bradan had been worth sacrificing everything that wasn’t just the way Bradan wanted it.

      Bradan had disliked a lot of things about Jarrett, and he’d never been shy about saying so. Jarrett had stopped wearing the retro T-shirts he’d loved and started wearing the polo shirts that Bradan picked out for him. Jarrett had quit baking when Bradan had complained that too many sweets were making him fat. Jarrett had given up his Xbox because Bradan thought that gaming was immature.

      But there were some things Jarrett couldn’t give up.

      Bradan hadn’t liked that Jarrett was a practicing Wiccan. Jarrett set aside his hopes of celebrating holidays with his boyfriend, but he could not give up his religious beliefs.

      Jarrett’s favorite comfort activity was reading romance stories. He loved the intense attraction and happy endings even more than the spicy bits. Bradan thought romances were stupid, and Jarrett found himself hiding his books like contraband whenever Bradan came over.

      Jarrett also couldn’t change the fact that he was bisexual. Bradan kept making comments that Jarrett was going to cheat on him with a woman, or that he didn’t have the guts to come out as gay. Jarrett wasn’t a cheater. He believed in one partner at a time. And he’d definitely had the guts to tell his family that he was dating Bradan. Why didn’t Bradan understand? How did the fact that he’d dated a girl in high school, and loved her, and found her attractive, somehow become, in Bradan’s mind, proof that Jarrett’s attraction wasn’t as pure as his? And in the end, Jarrett wasn’t the one who’d cheated.

      Jarrett had tried to dismiss Bradan’s casually cruel comments as nothing but jokes. He’d told himself he was just overly sensitive to humor that any normal person would find funny. That’s what Bradan had always told him, and he’d started to believe it.

      Looking back, Jarrett realized that he’d been willfully ignoring a lot of warning signs, blinded by love and the thrill of having an attractive man like Bradan pay attention to an average guy like him. Jarrett was smart enough to be glad he hadn’t married Bradan, but he still felt hurt. And what was he going to do with those tickets to Hawaii?

      He hadn’t wanted to face that empty seat beside him on the plane, or the sensation of getting lost all alone in a king-size bed. But when he thought about canceling the trip, he felt sudden, unexpected anger. He’d wanted to go to Hawaii for his
