Oyster

Low tides threw up all kinds of unexpected and random treasures. Wedding bands, hauls of driftwood, old bones worn smooth.

Jaded oyster fisherman, Nico La Forge, had seen them all.

Or so he believed. Until one night, a cold, bedraggled, and beautiful Éti Salvador washed up on the shore.

Nico had never been in love. Wasn't even looking for love. With the body of a revolutionary hero and a face like the devil, Nico was the sort of guy your mother warned you to stay away from. But then, Nico had never come across anyone as extraordinary as Éti Salvador before; divebombing the emotional wasteland of his heart, shaking it like a maraca.

And, overnight, like the turning of the tides, everything changed.
