Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dating dare? It could turn out to be the perfect match or it could be worse than a slap on a sunburn. Me, little ol' Paisley Jones, envisioned glitz and glamour with my movie star fiancé until a humiliating, public scandal explodes in my life like damp confetti. I escape to the family cottage with an ocean view and am not looking for love until a dare and a crazy seagull send me next door.

Turns out his teen crush is hiding out in the neighboring cottage. That would be yours truly, but I don't recognize him at first. Big waves. Big surprise. Quirky and independent, I never quite fit in the celebrity world. I'm not sure where I belong until I get on a surfboard. But it's hard to tell if the popular surfing instructor is just another guy seeking fame and fortune, the silly kid from my childhood summers, or someone I can ride the waves with. Will we take the plunge or will our affection for one another drop like the tide?
