Once Cassian taught her to surf, Nesta fell in love. The crash of waves beat the same tune as her heart. The sea flowed through her veins. Selected as a wild card for the 2019 Pipemasters, Nesta can think of nothing else. Every day she practices for the competition that could win her world-wide fame and recognition, riding waves as soon as the sun comes up.
Cassian hadn’t expected the girl he fought with as a young boy to become one of the best surfers on the island. He had been slowly falling for her the past two years, until he was so hopelessly in love he was sure Nesta could tell. The pair compete with one another every day in whatever they do. He wants to travel the world and surf, sponsored by one of the big companies.
With the competition drawing near, will Nesta and Cassian ride the dangerous waves of love or drown beneath them?

The wave crested and she dropped to catch the entrance to the tunnel. Standing up, she let her fingertips brush the tunnel wall, water flowing and falling thunderously in her wake.
Without a warning, the great wave of water crashed onto her head and sent her down. Caught under the wave, Nesta couldn’t surface to breathe. Growing more frantic by the second as she lost air, she tried to swim for the surface.
She saw the sunlight streaming through the foam left by the previous wave. She saw the shadow of the coming wave, screaming until salt water burned her throat.
