At the urging of a sympathetic cop, he spends the next day hiking to Okinawa's Hiji Falls where he'll claim he hurt himself in a fall. But at the end of the trail, he's in for a pleasant surprise-a gorgeous young guy in a pair of swimming trunks. Connor didn't come up to the falls to find a man, but when the ensign with the bandaged eyebrow finds him, he's instantly intrigued. A hike turns into dinner, and before either of them know it, they're inseparable. Connor's experience with men is limited, but Aiden is gentle and-in spite of their mutual hunger for each other-infinitely patient. It's a small world, though, and an even smaller island, and when Connor's father catches the two of them together, he's more than just an overprotective dad-he's one of Aiden's high-ranking bosses.
