Calypso Reimagined

Falling out of love with the sea

~A new destiny floats ashore on an island swept by love~ Visionary Remi Fontaine arrives for his summer job as distinguished visiting professor at a coastal university in North Carolina, hiding his faltering allegiance to his family’s legacy as pioneering oceanographers. As his faculty contact, graduate coordinator Nia Parnell introduces him to little-known natural gems along the coastline as they co-teach a summer session course. Remi’s growing affection for all things terrestrial mingles with his attraction for Nia, until a diving malady strikes and forces him to contemplate a major redirection. Launching a new focus for the underwater society at the summer’s end may force Remi to leave Nia high and dry—or can they explore the new horizon together? When a heritage must be reimagined, the letting go frees a heart to love. After all, every man must dare to leave his own footprints in the sand. A novella in the John Denver 20th Anniversary Collection Based on his tribute song “Calypso”
