Bare Current

When Elliot Hayes arrives at Bare Horizons, he’s armed with contracts, regulations, and a mandate to control what he doesn’t understand. The resort’s sacred water source is under legal review—and Elliot is supposed to be the one who decides its fate.

What he doesn’t expect is Noah Redbird.

Noah belongs to the land in a way Elliot has never belonged to anything. Bare, grounded, and unafraid of vulnerability, Noah challenges everything Elliot believes about power, protection, and what it means to truly stand in your own skin.

Their clashes are immediate. Ideological. Personal.
And impossibly magnetic.

As arguments turn into connection, and connection turns into something deeper, Elliot is forced to confront the life he’s built—and the one he might be brave enough to choose instead. Between legal battles, sacred ground, and a growing love neither of them planned for, two men must decide what they’re willing to risk for truth, for justice, and for each other.

Bare Current is a slow-burn, emotionally charged gay romance about body freedom, environmental justice, and the kind of love that doesn’t ignite in flames—but flows steadily, reshaping everything it touches.

Because sometimes the strongest current isn’t the one that pulls you under…
It’s the one that finally carries you home.
