Publisher Description
Life is tricky…especially with a hidden identity.
In a word, Brody's life is complicated. He has enough secrets—and enough reasons to keep them—to fill the back of his Volvo station wagon. But something about the marine biology nerd who works at the smoothie shop has the things he's kept hidden begging to be set free.
Phin has never been one for complications, which is why he's always avoided relationships. Hookups? Yes. Relationships? Definitely not. So why, after striking up an unlikely friendship with Brody, can Phin not seem to get the hot surfer with the pink surfboard out of his head?
When circumstances force Brody and Phin together, will Brody's new feelings be enough to convince Phin to build a relationship with him, or will Brody have to share parts of his past and present that no one else knows about to keep his man?
The Hidden Door is the final full-length novel in the Open Doors series featuring a marine biologist who loves to teach, a SoCal surfer with a hidden identity, and an unlikely friendship forged over a shared love of tide pools, tacos, and vinyl records.

Absolutely Loved it
I loved every word of Brody and Phin’s story! First, these two are the most lovely and likable MCs you could imagine. This is a beautiful and unique take on friends to lovers. Phin is so focused on chasing his dreams of a career in marine biology he only does hook ups, never interested in relationships. Phin was such a well drawn character, I loved his unique brand of nerdy confidence. He is brave enough to tell Brody very openly that he is interested in hooking up. Brody is demisexual and not interested in hook ups, but he likes Phin and suggests they try being friends. I loved their friends “for now” agreement and how Phin embraces Brody’s offer. Their friendship is so sweet, and as they get to know each other moving from friends to more feels very natural and right. Phin & Brody are one of my favorite couples that come across in a long while. They bring a perfect combination of humor, sweetness and steam. Overall, this is book wonderfully low angst but the mystery of Brody and what might be hiding in his past brought just the right amount of tension to the plot. I will definitely be rereading this one, loved it!❤️
