Jared Moran has had his ups and downs in the past few years. The recovery from the attack that put him in his own emergency room took a while but he thinks he might be healed emotionally, finally. Rescuing a surfer on the North Short of O’ahu might be the catalyst his needs to prove that.

​

Eric Ke’ala Hamilton has grown up in the Hawaiian Isles. He’s been surfing since he could walk. Getting distracted on the waves isn’t something he does… until he catches sight of Jared sitting on the sand laughing.

One rescue, a chance encounter and the two men can’t seem to let each other go… maybe permanently.

​

In this spin-off from her With Me series, Kris brings the spirit of Aloha to Jared and Eric.
