Between The Waves

4,196.3 miles.
That’s how far Sara Thompson has gone to escape her life in Chicago and forge a new one as Audrey Logan in a small town on the coast of Maui. Waking up to the Pacific Ocean in your backyard isn’t too shabby, but laying on the beach by day and watching old movies by night has lost its thrill. When a local recommends taking surfing lessons from one of Manalua’s best, she jumps on the opportunity. It also doesn’t hurt that the instructor is the hottest guy in board shorts this side of the island.

Six lessons.
Jake Garrant has been living in his famous father’s shadow his whole life. Having his own professional surfing career helped set him apart until he left that world behind to be a guardian to his younger brother and run the town’s beloved surf shop. Life moves pretty slow on the island until one day a mysterious black haired beauty in a Cubs cap asks for surfing lessons. Jake commits to six lessons and does his level best to keep it professional, but he can’t help falling for a woman named Audrey Logan.

One riptide
As each lesson goes by, the heat between them grows and they give into their desires, until suddenly 4,196.3 miles isn’t far enough and they have to face the ultimate riptide.
