Life is good for Abby and West. Finally. After a brief break-up and the threat of separation, Abby Sellers and West Montgomery are together again. Abby's going to school and helping with the family business as they deal with her mother's illness and West is living his dream, playing baseball at USD. Things are going in the right direction. Until one mistake sends everything spinning out of control. The kind of mistake that changes everything in an instant. The kind of mistake that can tear people apart. The kind of mistake that guarantees their lives will be forever changed...one way or another.

All West Montgomery wanted was a vacation. A week-long stay in Tucson with Abby and her parents, a chance to get away for the week, the opportunity to get to know her family a little better and maybe carve out a little alone time with his girlfriend. What he doesn't count on is finding a way to resume his baseball career. Encouraged by Abby and her father to attend a MLB open tryout, West discovers that he can still play ball-well-and he suddenly becomes the hottest commodity on the field. Overwhelmed with offers and possibilities, West knows that whatever choice he makes will affect more than his baseball career. It will affect his future with Abby. Professional baseball was always his dream, but Abby was a new dream come true. He doesn't want to choose between them, but in order to fulfill one of those dreams, West will have to. Because he knows it's all on him.

Abby Sellers knows what she wants. Enduring eighteen years in the shadow of her identical twin sister, Annika, she wants a fresh start. A chance to create her own life, separate from her conniving, deceptive twin. Surprising both her family and friends, Abby ditches her plans for college and enrolls at a new school instead. There, she encounters West Montgomery, a sexy fellow student who immediately disarms her with his good looks and charm. West takes a liking to Abby and she suddenly finds herself walking a thin line, fabricating a fictional life created not by lies but by omission. She soon discovers West has secrets of his own, secrets that he's not altogether interested in sharing. Out from under the shadow of her twin, Abby's life-and her relationship with West-blossoms. When Abby leaves town one weekend, something unthinkable happens and her relationship with West is shattered. Reeling from the discovery, Abby fears all of her plans have backfired and she's created a mess for both of them, a mess that no one can clean up. But West isn't willing to let her go that easily. When he forces her to confront secrets they've both been hiding, Abby must decide more than if she's willing to forgive and forget. She must also decide just what kind of life she wants...and who she wants to live it with.

Kellen Handler is in deep. Ever since he can remember, he's wanted to be a professional surfer. And he made it, rising to the top of the ranks, traveling the world and riding every break he's ever dreamed of. His good looks and reputation for living on the edge-both in and out of the water-have made him an international superstar. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Kellen wipes out big time, spiraling so badly that everything he's worked for starts to disintegrate. Tour officials scramble to do damage control and demand he work with a public relations company to clean up his bad boy image. It doesn't help that the person assigned to him, Gina Bellori, has her own demons associated with the surfing world. Against her better judgement Gina accepts the job and concentrates on repairing Kellen's tattered reputation, despite his protests and despite the pain it causes her. With her past colliding with her present-and Kellen in the thick of it-she begins to realize that some secrets can't stay hidden. And suddenly, Kellen Handler is no longer worried about losing his career. He's more worried about losing his heart.
