Jax Ridley moved into the Ocean Shores apartment building with a guitar he barely plays and a name he'd rather people didn't recognize. He wasn't planning on a neighbor who notices everything.

Kaia Mercer is a paramedic who shows up for every crisis. She's fierce, sharp-edged, and loyal to a fault. She's also better at fixing other people's lives than her own. She likes to ask questions, not answer them.

A midnight encounter puts them in each other's orbit. It's unexpected, unplanned, and impossible to shake. And Ocean Shores, with its warm courtyards, nosy neighbors, and found family gathered around a beachside pool, has a way of pulling people together, whether they're ready or not.

Jax isn't looking to be rescued. Kaia isn't looking to rescue him. But between the secrets he's keeping and the walls she's built, something is shifting, and it's a little terrifying for both of them.

Love Me Like You Do is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance about loyalty, second chances, and what happens when two people who swore they didn't need anyone find each other anyway.
