Publisher's Synopsis
Rosalie Harrington had her summer all planned out-glamorous parties, exclusive events, and basking in the glow of London's high society. What she didn't plan on? Being exiled to a sleepy coastal town in the Outer Banks, far away from everything she knows and loves.
The idea of spending her days in a place where nobody cares about her name or status is unbearable. But when a split-second mistake leaves her fighting against a deadly rip current, she learns just how powerless she really is-until a brooding, infuriatingly handsome lifeguard named Brent drags her back to shore.
Brent has no patience for entitled tourists who think they own the beach, and Rosalie is no exception. He's got enough problems of his own without having to babysit a spoiled British socialite. But despite their mutual annoyance, their worlds keep colliding-on the shore, under the sun, and in the moments in between.
The more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the electric tension crackling between them. Beneath Rosalie's polished façade is a girl desperate to break free, and beneath Brent's hardened exterior lies a past he'd rather keep buried. As their summer heats up, so do their feelings, and what started as indifference turns into something neither of them expected.
But Rosalie's life is waiting for her back in London, and Brent's belongs to the ocean. With the end of summer approaching, they'll have to decide if what they've found is just a fleeting wave... or something worth holding onto.
A sun-soaked, slow-burn romance with sizzling chemistry, heart-pounding emotion, and an unforgettable setting, this is a love story that proves the most unexpected encounters can change everything.
