Ella Walker longs for the passion missing from her life. But average girls like her don't land the gorgeous heroes like those she writes about in her own romance stories. Her job at a bookstore in Newport Beach is dull at best, a mere refuge from her family and the emotional abuse she suffered at their hands growing up. Surfing is her only escape.
Adam Bianci, a handsome Italian billionaire, comes to her rescue on the very beach where she surfs every day – it is love at first sight. Ella is captivated by Adam’s bold sexuality and sensitivity to her most private feelings. Passion flares and the searing love between them, leads to long-desired intimacy.

But Adam hides a dark secret…one that could tear them apart forever. Having magically found him, Ella is determined not to let Adam slip through her fingers…but will his past and the tangled web of his own childhood abuse ruin their happily-ever-after?

Advance Praise

Susan Griffiths: ABSOLUTELY RIVETING!!!! Totally hot!!! I loved this story!!! I fell in love with Adam right away and the romance between Ella and Adam is beautiful -- not to mention sizzling!!

Tina Clark: This book took me away. I loved the way Adam and Ella met. They were both brought up by parents who didn't show them love, and were abusive in their own way.

Claudia Triplet: I loved the romance in the book. The attraction was clearly there from the moment they saw each other on the beach, although they didn't give in to it. I loved that Adam adored her and at every turn let her know that.

Mary Jo: Adam and Ella have both survived emotionally abusive childhoods – it's as if their souls knew the other would understand their past - from here we get to watch two people connect in a way they hadn't with anyone else before, their comfort around each other is instantaneous and surprising to both.
