After finding her life in turmoil, Riley
leaves New York and returns to her hometown of Mistcoast, California where she
takes a job at the local surf shop owned by Blake Reynolds, who has certainly
grown up a lot since high school.
Blake Reynolds is handsome, talented and
driven. At twenty-four the blond haired, blue eyed surfer seemingly has it all:
a booming business, hometown following—everything but the girl of his dreams.
Luckily, fate decides to give him a second chance.
After ten years apart will Blake finally win
Riley’s heart? Or will she continue to see him as the annoying freshman she
used to tutor?
One thing’s for sure, only the California sun
and surf can help decide.

Excerpt:
“Enough of me,” he said coyly. He reached out to grab a stray lock of my strawberry blonde hair. I swatted his hand away.
“Do not touch me,” I hissed.
He rolled his eyes and turned his baseball cap backwards on his head. “Oh, come on. I’m a guy and you’re a girl and—”
“This isn’t going to turn into some tutor/student sex fantasy,” I shot back angrily.
“Admit it. You think I’m hot.”
If
I were being frank, I would admit that the fourteen-year-old freshman
was good looking in a young Brad Pitt sort of way. Regardless, he was a
freshman. There was no way I was even entertaining that idea.
I shook my head. “Nope. Can’t say that I do.”
“Oh, come on, Riley. Stop denying what is fated. We are going to fall in love, get married, and have beautiful children.”
“Do
you want me to tell your mother that you’re sexually harassing your
eighteen year old senior tutor? Why don’t you take all that energy
you’re putting into being a perverted freak and focus on your studies?”
Instead
of being angry, Blake’s eyes widened and he burst into a loud laugh.
“You are seriously something, Riley Dillon. Seriously something.”
“Just pay attention to the lesson,” I snapped.
“Age
ain’t nothing but a number, Sweetheart. One day you’ll find that out.”
He grinned his cocky smile and I couldn’t help but wonder if this
tutoring gig was even worth it. As his laugh echoed in the empty
classroom, all I could do was shut my tired eyes and shake my head in
exasperation.
