Clear Harbor by Tallulah Scott

Can two men who want such different things find a way to be together?

… A sight to behold that made his knees weak…
When Craig first saw James perched atop the tall sailing ship, it was like the best part of all his fantasies had come true.
James had the lean, muscular body — well-tanned from weeks on the open sea — curly blond hair blowing in the wind, along with a smile and sense of humor that lit up a room.
But Craig’s life is here: crabbing and oystering along the Chesapeake Bay; quietly going about his business, day after day, week after week; honoring a way of life that began for his family three centuries ago
There’s only one thing to do. Find a way to keep James here. But James’ spirit might be too wild and ree to tame.

… An idyllic life he never wanted …
James has always loved the freewheeling life of a writer and sailor. He can go where he wants and live the life he chooses. He can explore and learn so much about what life has to offer.
Meeting Craig was a shock to his senses. Craig’s living the life that James never gave much thought to, part of a community and family that James just doesn’t have and never wanted.

But there’s something about Craig that James just can’t get out of his head…
There’s only one thing to do. Entice Craig to leave his idyllic life and travel the world with him. Things can be so good together, so complete, if only he can get Craig to see the larger world beyond…

Can two men, who want such different things, ever find common ground?
