Row, row, row your boat… Gently? Doesn’t look like it. Merrily? Definitely not!

For a woman looking for a fresh start and a man determined not to give her one, life on the rapids is anything but a dream.

Myles Tate is supposed to be finishing her last year of med school. Instead, an unsettling revelation has left her standing knee-deep in a freezing Oregon river, wondering if rock bottom includes working as a whitewater rafting guide for the summer. At least her new boss is a real treat for the eyes. Unfortunately, he's made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want her there. Too bad he's just turned himself into her new favorite challenge.

Weston Olin used to love the river. But that was before tragedy struck and left him carrying around enough guilt to drown in it. The last thing he needs is an endlessly chatty new coworker crashing into his world with too much honesty and a habit of looking at him like he's worth more than the worst thing that's ever happened to him.

As summer unfolds, so do feelings neither of them can ignore. But can two people running from their past find something worth holding on to? Or will the current they've been trying to outrun inevitably pull them apart?
