Island Fever

Riley Preston arrives on the Big Island to expose the environmental conflicts threatening paradise. Armed with a drone, a camera, and a journalist’s instincts, he plans to stay detached. But Keoni Makaio — an uncompromising Native Hawaiian park ranger — has other ideas.

Their first clash is immediate and explosive. Riley’s drone violates sacred territory. Keoni shuts him down without hesitation. What begins as hostility escalates into intense chemistry when professional duty forces them to trek Hawaii’s volcanic trails side by side. Neither man is prepared for the emotional terrain ahead — or the consequences of falling in love across a cultural divide.

Island Fever is a scorching MM romance packed with emotional depth, unforgettable setting, and forbidden desire.

In this powerful gay love story, you’ll find:
- Enemies-to-lovers tension with real emotional growth
- A protective, alpha park ranger with deep roots and deeper secrets
- A driven, scruffy photographer who learns to see beyond the lens
- Forbidden territory — professionally and personally
- A rich Hawaiian setting that’s more than a backdrop — it’s a force of its own
- High-heat intimacy grounded in mutual respect and cultural authenticity
- A full-circle emotional journey that challenges loyalty, love, and legacy

From the black lava fields of Volcanoes National Park to the lush coastlines of Kona, Riley and Keoni must confront what matters most: truth, land, and the cost of silence.

Riley came to document the island’s story. Instead, he finds his own — and the man who could change everything.
