She had an amazing job, in one of the prettiest places in the world, with some of the best friends she could ask for. But one day, tragedy strikes, and Emilie is left, heartbroken and lost. She leaves her old life behind her, to move to Australia, hoping to start a new life. There, she meets the boys who make up the Bondi Lifeguard Team, and she thinks she may have found her new home. But what happens when someone from her past reappears? Someone she's been running from since her days in high school? Can the boys help her? Or is she doomed to forever be on the run?

After the death of her mother, 16 year old Rosalie is sent to live with her father in Bondi in Australia. Loosing a parent is hard in any circumstance, but when you were forced to handle abuse at the hands of your stepfather then witness your mother's murder, it was bound to take its toll. How will Rosalie cope dealing with the many issues she will face, whilst being thrown head first into the lives of several lifeguards who are all insistent on helping her feel at home?
