Rose had planned the perfect summer, and those plans didn't involve Brent -- a handsome but hostile lifeguard.                                                                                                                      

***
British socialite Rosalie Harrington enjoys the power and respect that her position as Queen Bee brings, so she's horrified to hear that she'll be spending the summer in a remote American coastal town. With opportunistic friends and a rocky relationship, it's the worst time to leave London, and she drags her heels all the way to the Outer Banks.

One day into her so-called holiday, a careless mistake has Rosalie fighting against a rip current. Fortunately, the local lifeguard is on hand to help. Brent might be an expert at saving troubled swimmers, but he is drowning in problems of his own and is far from impressed by this tourist's recklessness. 

The two of them couldn't be more different, but their attachment to the beach forces them together and sparks fly as they try to ignore the sizzling chemistry that soon develops.  

Rosalie and Brent are both about to learn that it's not just the ocean where there is more beneath the surface than meets the eye.

When pulling into the driveway, Raven feels something is off but sweeps it to the side and as she steps up onto the porch she unknowingly seals herself into a wild weekend. Raven, expecting a couple of months of parties, laughs, and careless drinks to have a bittersweet farewell only instead sees the man she had a one-night stand with months prior standing just before her, but now as the man, her best friend is about to marry; Caiden Boyd. Caiden comes with his own large baggage but however that may be, he is still just as charming and sexy as ever with his light blonde hair and chiseled face. Raven tries her hardest to stay away from Caiden but Caiden seeks Raven out creating a wild explosion of events. One of those events led to none other than Holten Harrison who is completely different from Caiden and more down-to-earth. Only this just confuses Raven even more. Raven wanted love in her one-night stand, but as soon as she gets a taste of the man she thinks she had fallen for months ago, Raven ends up meeting another man who shows her what real love could be like between them.

In the aftermath of a divorce, a talented and troubled swimmer, Abigail Brooks, finds comfort in an unexpected friendship with a math teacher, Ms. Melissa Bennett, who insists on helping her overcome her problems. As their bond deepens, Abigail unravels the challenges of Ms. Bennett's life: her relentless dedication to her work and her incapability to form any type of relationship have held her back from living at the fullest, and perhaps she should be saved from her own insecurities. While Abigail falls in love for the first time, she is torn between her first love and her unexplainable attraction to Ms. Bennett; they rely on each other to fight their battles, and have to decide whether their feelings are strong enough to follow them. "You did good," calmly stated Ms. Bennett, putting her hand on Abigail's thigh. "Look at that sunset," said an amazed Abby, staring at the sky changing color right in front of them. As if it was an obvious request, the two women got out of the car and placed the tablecloth on the grass, then lay down on it, with their attention completely drawn to the stars above their heads. While Abby was thinking about her hand accidentally yet not at all unwelcomed brushing against Ms. Bennett's, she was reflecting on how much the young girl had changed her life, putting her out of her misery and need to look for comfort in her work. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Ms. Bennett murmured under her breath. English is not my first language so be patient with me :)
