Rip Current

Aiden Kensington thought he had it all figured out.

Groomed from birth to inherit his family's powerful business empire, Aiden has always known exactly what was expected of him. The money. The title. The legacy. It was all laid out like a polished runway-until the life he'd carefully constructed begins to unravel, and he finds himself questioning everything.

Sometimes, the path you think you're supposed to follow isn't your path at all.

When a long-hidden connection with his college frat brother reignites in ways Aiden never expected, he's forced to confront not only his heart-but his identity. Their secret relationship becomes a mirror, reflecting back a version of himself he's never fully acknowledged... and might just be his truest self.

But love doesn't live in isolation. Not when family, ambition, and loyalty tug at every corner of Aiden's world. As his brother builds a quieter, more meaningful legacy outside the boardroom, Aiden begins to wonder-what if success isn't about empire, but impact?

What if home isn't a place, but a person?

Set between the boardrooms of Philadelphia and the sun-washed beaches of Southern California, Rip Current is a story about reinvention, reclamation, and the radical freedom of discovering who you were always meant to be.
