This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.

Twenty-two year old Grace McCaffrey is humiliated when she can't find a job after graduating college and has to move back in with her parents. She always assumed she'd do something big with her life-create change or do something that matters-not work at the Banner Market as a cashier. Soon, Grace gets roped into being a chaperone for a high school backpacking trip with her ex-boyfriend, Miles Dalby. However, she quickly learns these students are part of a mentorship program for troubled youth. As she tries to get them to open up, Grace starts to doubt herself. How can she make a difference in the world if she can't even help these students? Or is her mom right and sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference?

When Hailey Crawford gets dumped AND fired in the same day, she decides to do something truly crazy, like hop a plane to a legendary beach paradise 10,000 miles away from her D.C. home. She can't wait to leave all her problems behind and learn to surf like she's always wanted. The trouble is, her surfing instructor Dylan Shane is so hot she can't concentrate. His crisp Australian accent, washboard abs and sleeve of tattoos are mesmerizing. Too bad he's such a jerk. Only after Hailey finds herself mistaken for an "escort" by the local news do Dylan's real feelings come to light. But he's got a big secret of his own, and the truth could change both their lives forever.
