Bare Minimum

By Casey Holloway

When tightly wound financial auditor Ethan Prendergast arrives at Solstice Sands, he's prepared for disorganized books, questionable expenses, and maybe a few eccentric personalities.
He is not prepared for a fully functioning nudist resort.
Within hours, Ethan is overwhelmed, overdressed, and one minor inconvenience away from fainting-again. Between a budget labeled "vibes," receipts scribbled on napkins, and a rogue goat named Pickles with a personal vendetta, the audit is quickly becoming the least of his problems.
Because at Solstice Sands, there's only one rule that really matters:
No clothes. No barriers. No exceptions.
And Ethan is very, very attached to his exceptions.
With the gentle (and relentless) encouragement of resort owner Lydia Bloom, Ethan is slowly pushed out of his comfort zone-one humiliating, hilarious moment at a time. Whether he's being dragged into naked salsa lessons, surviving poolside disasters, or negotiating the emotional importance of his "support boxers," Ethan is forced to confront something far more terrifying than spreadsheets:
Letting go of control.
But somewhere between the chaos, the community, and Lydia's steady, knowing presence, something begins to shift.
Because Solstice Sands isn't about exposure.
It's about being seen.
And for the first time in his life, Ethan might be ready to stop hiding-even if it means losing everything he thought he needed to feel safe.
Bare Minimum is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about vulnerability, self-acceptance, and discovering that sometimes the scariest thing you can do... is show up exactly as you are.
