Helena "Lena" Mavrick is ready to prove that she can play with the big boys. Working at her father's internationally renowned agency, Mavrick Allstars, Lena sets her sights on one of the most coveted phenoms out there: a twenty-four-year-old surfer caught ripping it in a viral skateboarding video. Signing him would be a huge win—and his marketing appeal isn't the only thing that makes Lena's heart skip a beat. Trouble is, fraternizing with the client is against company policy.

Professional surfer Gunner Smith lives under the absolute control of his coach—until he takes the ultimate risk and starts over as a skateboarder. Gunner swore he wouldn't give up his freedom again, but Lena's out-of-the-blue offer makes him think long and hard. She's smart, she's bold, she's got sponsors lined up around the corner—plus she's drop-dead gorgeous. He's just not sure his coach will let him get away that easily, because he's not just Gunner's coach, he's also his father.

Gunner is used to hiding his tortured past. But when his steamy affair with Lena threatens their future, he must decide whether he will sacrifice everything for the woman who's stolen his heart.
