Author’s Note from J. Prescott Langley

Dearest Reader,

They say that the sea calls to a man’s soul, but so too does longing—deep, undeniable, and as vast as the horizon itself.

When I set out to write Shore Leave Surrender, I wanted to capture more than just the thrill of a forbidden rendezvous—I wanted to explore the weight of duty, the pull of desire, and the moment a man stands at the precipice of surrender. Lieutenant Jack “Storm” Callahan is a man of unwavering discipline, but what happens when he finds himself trapped in a storm of his own making, face to face with a rogue sailor who refuses to play by the rules? Fletcher Hayes is a man untamed, wild as the sea, but what if his greatest conquest isn’t a battle—but the heart of a man sworn to resist him?

Some say that love and war cannot coexist. I say that love is the greatest battle of all. And when the rain is falling, the lightning flashing, and the heat between two men burns brighter than the tropic sun—who among us wouldn’t risk everything for a chance at something greater?

This is a tale of honor and temptation. Of longing and surrender. Of a storm that no man can outrun.

With admiration and reckless abandon,

J. Prescott Langley
