Miles Avery has a spreadsheet for everything-town budgets, emergency supplies, and the exact number of ways Dalton can turn a "fun weekend" into a liability. So when Dalton announces Whitewater for a Cause-a summer rafting fundraiser paired with a trendy riverside wellness retreat-Miles does what he always does in a crisis: opens a new tab and tries not to scream. The only problem? Miles isn't just organizing. He's co-leading the chaos. Enter Rowan "Ro" Delgado: a soft-spoken wilderness medic with steady hands, sharp instincts, and a calm that makes Miles's nervous system feel personally attacked. Ro is assigned medical coverage and safety protocols, which means he and Miles are forced into close coordination from day one-while the town treats safety briefings like suggestions and emotional boundaries like a group activity. Between gear-check mishaps, a "shared cabin" mix-up that definitely wasn't anyone's fault (except Dalton's), and a not-dangerous-but-dramatic rapid incident involving a missing shoe, Miles and Ro discover they're a terrifyingly effective team. But when a rumor surfaces about why Ro never stays anywhere for long, Miles has to decide whether he'll keep hiding behind logistics...or choose Ro out loud. Because surviving the river is easy. Admitting what you want? That's the real whitewater. Whitewater, Wooing & Wellness Retreats is a warm, funny small-town romantic comedy full of competence, quiet tenderness, meddling locals, and a happily-ever-after that arrives exactly when both men stop pretending they don't deserve it.
