Wild Hart by E. Davies

“Everything I want is here, in front of me.”

Rusty Campbell left Hart’s Bay after high school to work in the wilderness. Now he’s back home for one purpose: seaweed farming. To succeed, he’ll need to fight the tide and win over his skeptical family, once-burned by the fishing industry collapse. But there are intriguing new faces bringing good fortune to Hart’s Bay—like the captivating redhead who watches him from the art gallery.
Six months after moving to this small town, Ezra Carter’s bed feels empty. Painting and running an art co-op with his friends doesn’t fill the same need. The city boy is seriously considering lowering his standards… until the man of his dreams walks in and throws his no-good hookup out of the bar. Why does Rusty have to be straight?
Rusty is mystified at the surging chemistry between them as their friendship grows. Is Ezra the missing piece to the puzzle of Rusty’s love life? As Rusty struggles to make sense of his feelings, he guides Ezra through his home territory to give the artist new inspiration—but he winds up becoming Ezra’s muse himself.
Before long, they’re fumbling their way through uncharted waters. Can their picture-perfect, no-labels relationship weather the storm brewing under their feet?
