Former junior surfing campion Asher Franklin has her life mapped out. Her late mother Jules left her a video message full of the life lessons she couldn’t provide in person. Jules’s advice, which transformed Asher from tracksuit worshiping tomboy to bona fide glamazon, includes dating rules guaranteed to land the perfect man.

Ex pro surfer Billy Jarvis is not that man. Sexy as hell, but bouncing off rock bottom, Billy is everything Jules warned her against. Asher is determined to resist Billy’s charms but when her family pressure her to enter a charity surfing competition, she accepts his offer to coach her. It’s either that or crash and burn in front of her whole town.

As the flame of her competitive spirit reignites and her feelings for Billy grow, Asher begins to question the motherly advice that has shaped her. Maybe life—and love—isn’t about following rules. But does she dare break them and risk everything, including her heart?
