Blurb:

After a betrayal that shattered her career—and her faith in herself—marine biologist Sofia Moretti Gómez swore off men for good. Starting over in the surf town of Ericeira, Portugal, she pours everything into Salacia Project, a conservation-focused boat tour fighting to survive in a world that values profit over preservation.

Ilias Ríos El Idrissi is the last complication she needs. An Olympic gold medalist with a tarnished reputation and too much charm for his own good. Sofia needs visibility and funding. Ilias needs a clean public image.

Their solution is simple, and dangerous: a fake romance designed to fool future sponsors and the press. But as they travel together, pretending becomes harder than telling the truth. When Sofia’s past resurfaces and the pressure around Ilias intensifies, she’s forced to confront what scares her most: trusting her instincts again, and opening her heart to someone who could cost her everything. Because if their carefully staged partnership falls apart, Sofia risks losing the future she’s rebuilding, and Ilias could lose the first person who’s ever seen him beyond the spotlight.
