This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “The oils and the bikini are part of your surfing lessons.”

I used all my savings to fly to the Philippines—Siargao, to be exact, for one reason: to learn how to ride the waves like a man who finally had his life together.

Instead, I found Ramon Dela Cruz. He’s the island’s most feared and desired surf instructor—broad-shouldered, impossibly masculine, and far too intense for my comfort. He doesn’t teach tourists in groups. He doesn’t tolerate whining. And when he offers to train me alone on a secret islet called Babaylan, I say yes before I can think better of it.

That’s when everything changes.

The oils he rubs into my skin make me stronger in the water… and softer everywhere else. My body starts shifting in ways that should terrify me—smoother skin, fuller curves, breasts, hips, and a face so pretty I barely recognize myself. The more feminine I become, the better I surf. The better I surf, the harder it is to stop.

Soon, I’m no longer just learning the waves. I’m learning how it feels to be wanted as a woman. But Siargao is no ordinary island, and Ramon is no ordinary man. When a storm nearly kills me, and his touch becomes the only thing keeping me together, I have to face the truth I’ve been running from my whole life: Did I come to Siargao to become a better man… or the woman I was always meant to be?
